Description

These Protein Brownie Bites with Greek Yogurt are a healthy and delicious snack, packed with rich cocoa, protein powder, oats, and natural sweeteners. Perfectly bite-sized and easy to prepare, they combine the fudgy texture of brownies with the creamy tang of Greek yogurt topping for a satisfying treat. Ideal for an energy boost or post-workout snack, they are quick to mix and bake, with optional add-ins like chocolate chips and nuts for added texture and flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ cup chocolate or vanilla protein powder (whey or plant-based)
  • ¼ cup oats
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • â…“ cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
  • ¼ cup honey or maple syrup
  • ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp melted coconut oil or any neutral oil

Optional Add-Ins

  • ¼ cup mini dark chocolate chips
  • 2 tbsp chopped walnuts or pecans
  • Pinch of instant espresso powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a mini muffin tin or line it with silicone baking cups to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, protein powder, oats, baking soda, and salt until the mixture is smooth and well combined with no visible lumps.
  3. Combine the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, applesauce, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil until the mixture is fully blended and smooth.
  4. Blend the Batter: Pour the wet mixture into a blender or food processor. Add the dry ingredients and blend until the batter is completely smooth with no visible oat texture. This ensures a rich and uniform consistency.
  5. Fold in Optional Add-Ins: If using, gently fold in the mini chocolate chips, chopped nuts, and a pinch of espresso powder after blending. This keeps the add-ins whole and evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  6. Fill the Muffin Tin: Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full to allow room for rising during baking.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the tops are set and a toothpick inserted into the center of a bite comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
  8. Cool the Brownie Bites: Let the brownie bites cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before topping.
  9. Top with Greek Yogurt: Once cooled, spoon a small amount of plain Greek yogurt on top of each brownie bite. Serve immediately or store the yogurt separately if packing them for later.

Notes

  • Ensure the batter is well blended for a smooth, consistent texture in the brownie bites.
  • You can substitute the protein powder with your preferred plant-based or whey protein.
  • For vegan options, replace eggs with flax eggs and use maple syrup instead of honey.
  • Optional add-ins like chocolate chips and nuts add texture but can be omitted for a simpler version.
  • Store brownie bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; add Greek yogurt topping just before serving.
  • The pinch of instant espresso powder enhances the chocolate flavor without adding a coffee taste.
