Chocolate with peppermint just screams winter wonderland to me, & these peppermint brownie bites are such a fun & easy dessert or snack idea. Protein-packed & made with healthier ingredients, these bites are dipped in chocolate & topped with some crushed candy canes π Makes about 9 bites.
For the bites, mix:
-1/4 cup almond flour
-1/4 cup chocolate protein powder
-1/2 cup nut butter
-3 tbsp maple syrup
-3 tbsp almond milk
-1 tsp peppermint extract
Roll into 1 tbsp sized balls & place on a plate. (If mixture is too soft to roll, place in the fridge or freezer for a few minutes to firm up.) Let set in the fridge for 1 hour.
For the chocolate coating, mix:
-3/4 cup dark chocolate chips, melted
-1 tbsp coconut oil, melted
-1/4 cup vanilla or chocolate protein powder
Use a fork to dip each bite into the chocolate mixture until well coated. Sprinkle some crushed up candy canes on top & place back in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to set & harden. Enjoy!
