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

  1. Prepare the base mixture: Mix together the cashew butter, maple syrup, milk, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth and fully combined.
  2. Add protein powder: Stir in the vanilla pea protein powder until the mixture is smooth with no clumps remaining.
  3. Divide the batter: Separate the batter evenly into two bowls, approximately 3/4 cup for each bowl.
  4. Create cookie dough batter: Mix 2 to 3 tablespoons of chocolate chips into one of the bowls to form the cookie dough batter.
  5. Create brownie batter: In the second bowl, thoroughly mix in the cacao powder, then fold in the remaining 2 to 3 tablespoons of chocolate chips to create the brownie batter.
  6. Form the brookie balls: Portion out 16 small balls (about 2 teaspoons each) from both the cookie dough and brownie batters separately.
  7. Roll together: Gently combine one cookie dough ball and one brownie ball by rolling them together carefully to form the brookie protein balls. Continue until all balls are paired.
  8. Store properly: Place the brookie protein balls in an airtight container and keep refrigerated to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • Use drippy or softened cashew butter for easier mixing and better texture.
  • Milk of choice can be dairy or any plant-based alternative like almond, oat, or soy milk.
  • For extra texture, use chopped or mini chocolate chips.
  • Store protein balls in the refrigerator to keep them firm and fresh up to one week.
  • These are no-bake, so enjoy ready within 20 minutes.
