Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon peanut butter (optional)

Instructions

  1. Blend Wet Ingredients: Add cottage cheese, maple syrup, and peanut butter (if using) to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth and creamy, ensuring a uniform texture to bind the bites together.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: Transfer the blended mixture to a large bowl. Fold in cocoa powder, almond flour, and chocolate protein powder until fully incorporated, creating a thick batter.
  3. Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in mini chocolate chips to provide bursts of chocolate flavor and texture without breaking the batter’s consistency.
  4. Form Bites: Using a tablespoon, scoop the mixture and roll into small bite-sized balls. Place them evenly spaced on a parchment-lined tray to prevent sticking.
  5. Refrigerate: Chill the bites in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes to firm up, making them easier to handle and enhancing the flavor before serving or storing.

Notes

  • For a nut-free version, omit the peanut butter or substitute with sunflower seed butter.
  • Use full-fat cottage cheese for creamier bites, or low-fat for fewer calories.
  • Store the bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • These bites can also be frozen for up to 1 month; thaw in the fridge before eating.
  • Adjust the sweetness by altering the amount of maple syrup according to your preference.
