No-Bake Low Carb Chocolate Peanut Butter Bites
Delicious, high-protein, low-calorie chocolate peanut butter bites. Quick, no-bake snack perfect for a healthy January treat
Ingredients
- 1 cup natural peanut butter, room temperature
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder, unsweetened
- 1/4 cup monk fruit sweetener or your preferred sugar substitute
- 2 scoops chocolate protein powder or collagen peptides
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
- 3-4 tablespoons almond milk, as needed
- Optional: sugar-free chocolate chips for rolling
Instructions
- Step 1: Grab a large mixing bowl and add your room temperature peanut butter. Make sure it’s nice and soft so everything mixes easily.
- Step 2: Add the cocoa powder, sweetener, protein powder, vanilla, and salt to the bowl. Start mixing with a sturdy spoon or spatula.
- Step 3: The mixture will look pretty dry at first. Add almond milk one tablespoon at a time until the dough comes together and feels like thick cookie dough. You want it rollable but not sticky.
- Step 4: Use a small cookie scoop or just your hands to roll the mixture into bite-sized balls. I make mine about 1 inch in diameter.
- Step 5: If you want to get fancy, roll the bites in crushed sugar-free chocolate chips, extra cocoa powder, or chopped nuts. Totally optional but looks pretty.
- Step 6: Place all the bites on a plate or baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Pop them in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Step 7: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. I dare them to last that long in your house!
