Made with creamy cashew butter, vanilla pea protein, cacao powder, and a touch of maple syrup, these no-bake treats are perfect for an on-the-go energy boost or a guilt-free dessert.

Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup drippy cashew butter
  • 1/2 cup vanilla pea protein
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp milk of choice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Chocolate Additions

  • 1/4+ cup chocolate chips (divided)
  • 3 tbsp cacao powder

Instructions

  1. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the cashew butter, maple syrup, milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
  2. Add Protein: Gradually incorporate the vanilla pea protein powder into the wet mixture, stirring thoroughly to ensure no clumps remain.
  3. Divide Batter: Split the batter evenly into two separate bowls, approximately 3/4 cup each.
  4. Prepare Cookie Batter: To one bowl, mix in 2-3 tablespoons of chocolate chips to create the cookie-flavored batter.
  5. Prepare Brownie Batter: To the other bowl, stir in the cacao powder until fully combined, then fold in the remaining 2-3 tablespoons of chocolate chips to make the brownie-flavored batter.
  6. Form Brookie Balls: Portion out 16 balls (about 2 teaspoons each) from each batter, then gently roll one from each flavor together to create a brookie ball. Repeat with all portions until combined.
  7. Store: Place the brookie protein balls in an airtight container and refrigerate to keep fresh.

Notes

  • Use drippy cashew butter for easier mixing; if using thick cashew butter, warm slightly before combining.
  • Choose your preferred milk—dairy or plant-based—to tailor taste and dietary needs.
  • Adjust maple syrup quantity to modify sweetness to your preference.
  • Store refrigerated and consume within a week for best freshness.
  • For a firmer texture, briefly chill the mixture before rolling into balls.
