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
- Prepare the base mixture: Mix together the cashew butter, maple syrup, milk, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth and fully combined.
- Add protein powder: Stir in the vanilla pea protein powder until the mixture is smooth with no clumps remaining.
- Divide the batter: Separate the batter evenly into two bowls, approximately 3/4 cup for each bowl.
- Create cookie dough batter: Mix 2 to 3 tablespoons of chocolate chips into one of the bowls to form the cookie dough batter.
- 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.
- Form the brookie balls: Portion out 16 small balls (about 2 teaspoons each) from both the cookie dough and brownie batters separately.
- 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.
- 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.
