I am so excited to bring you the 5th and final single-serving cookie dough protein bite recipe! And finally, CHOCOLATE brownie batter single serving bites!! The chocolate brownie batter bites are a perfect single-serving snack that is packed with protein and healthy fats. I love how quickly these brownie batter bites come together. Perfect for a quick chocolate craving fix when you don’t want to turn on the oven!
Ingredients and Substitution Ideas
Protein Powder
These brownie batter bites are designed using whey protein powder! If you want to try a plant-based protein powder, check out this recipe. I use Quest chocolate protein powder for these brownie batter bites. Since the protein powder is sweet, no other sweetener is needed for this recipe!
Cocoa powder
I like how cocoa powder gives a darker, richer brownie-like flavor! I use Hershey’s dark chocolate cocoa powder, but you can use regular cocoa powder as well.
Nut butter
For a more neutral brownie batter taste, my favorite nut butters to use here are almond or cashew. You can use 1-2 tablespoons here.
Milk
So, here’s the thing. While I’ve made this recipe numerous times, I have to say the amount of milk (if any) you will need may vary based on the consistency of your peanut flour and nut butter. I’d first mix up all of the ingredients except the milk and chocolate chips. If the mixture seems dry, then add milk (Or water, but milk is best flavor) 1 teaspoon at a time until the cookie dough bites together and you can roll it into balls. Any type of milk works here; I typically use almond or oat milk but cows milk works too (just refrigerate the cookie dough bites after making them). I just have learned from experience it’s always easier to add more milk/water, but more difficult to take it away if you add too much!
Vanilla extract
I always buy pure vanilla extract for the best taste! The vanilla extract helps give a cookie dough taste.
Sea salt
Don’t skip this ingredient! A pinch of salt goes a long way here in bringing all the ingredients together.
Chocolate chips
I mean…why NOT use chocolate in three different ways for this recipe?! I definitely prefer using mini chocolate chips in these cookie dough bites, as they will not only more easily roll into balls but also have a better distribution of chocolate!
- 20 grams chocolate protein powder (about ¼ cup)*

**start with a small amount of milk, and add more only as needed! Will vary based on the protein powder you use, etc.
