Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond butter (natural, unsweetened)
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup chocolate protein powder
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder (unsweetened)
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • Pinch of salt

Topping

  • 2 tbsp rainbow sprinkles (plus extra for topping, optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, stir together the almond butter and maple syrup until fully combined and smooth. Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, mixing thoroughly.
  2. Add Dry Ingredients: Mix in the chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, and rolled oats. Stir until the mixture forms a thick, sticky, moldable dough. Use your hands if necessary to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.
  3. Add the Sprinkles: Gently fold in 2 tablespoons of rainbow sprinkles evenly to give each bite a colorful, crunchy texture.
  4. Roll Into Balls: Scoop out about 1 to 1.5 tablespoons of dough with your hands and roll into bite-sized balls. Place the balls on a plate or tray lined with parchment paper. Optionally, sprinkle extra rainbow sprinkles on top and press them in gently.
  5. Chill: Refrigerate the bites for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up. For a faster setting, place them in the freezer for 15 minutes. Once set, the bites are ready to enjoy or store.

Notes

  • You can double the batch and freeze half for convenient meal prepping.
  • Sprinkles are optional but recommended for the authentic cosmic brownie look and taste.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding more maple syrup or reducing it for a subtler flavor.
  • If the dough is too dry, add 1-2 teaspoons of water or extra maple syrup to reach desired consistency.
  • Use room-temperature almond butter to make mixing easier.
