Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup drippy cashew butter
- 1/2 cup vanilla pea protein
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 tbsp milk of choice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4+ cup chocolate chips
- 3 tbsp cacao powder
Instructions
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the cashew butter, maple syrup, milk of choice, and vanilla extract. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add Protein Powder: Gradually add the vanilla pea protein to the wet mixture, stirring continuously to eliminate any lumps and achieve a smooth batter.
- Divide Batter: Separate the combined batter equally into two bowls, about 3/4 cup each, preparing for the two distinct flavor profiles.
- Add Chocolate Chips and Cacao: To one bowl, mix in 2-3 tablespoons of chocolate chips. To the second bowl, incorporate the cacao powder and then add the remaining 2-3 tablespoons of chocolate chips, blending thoroughly.
- Form Brookie Balls: Portion out 16 balls from each batter, about 2 teaspoons each. Then gently roll together one cookie dough portion and one brownie batter portion to create each brookie protein ball. Repeat until all are combined.
- Store: Place the brookie protein balls in an airtight container and refrigerate to keep fresh and firm.
Notes
- Use any plant-based or dairy milk for the milk of choice to keep it vegan.
- Maple syrup can be substituted with agave nectar or honey (if not vegan).
- Keep the balls refrigerated to maintain their shape and freshness.
- For added texture, consider adding chopped nuts or seeds into either batter.
- These protein balls make a great pre or post-workout snack due to their balanced macronutrients.
