Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Base

  • 1/2 cup creamy almond butter
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon sea salt

Chocolate Coating

  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/2 teaspoon coconut oil
  • Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling on top

Instructions

  1. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper and set it aside for placing the brownie balls later.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the almond butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir the mixture thoroughly until it becomes smooth and well blended.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Add the almond flour, chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, and sea salt into the wet mixture. Stir everything together until fully combined forming a uniform dough.
  4. Form Brownie Balls: Roll the mixture into small balls, approximately 1 to 2 tablespoons per ball. Place these balls on the prepared parchment-lined tray.
  5. Chill: Place the balls in the freezer for 15 minutes or the refrigerator for 30 minutes to firm up before chocolate coating.
  6. Melt Chocolate: Combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
  7. Coat Brownie Balls: Dip each brownie ball into the melted chocolate. Use a spoon to drizzle more chocolate over them, lifting each ball out of the chocolate to allow excess to drip off. Gently shake or tap the spoon on the side of the bowl if needed.
  8. Sprinkle Salt: Return the coated balls to the parchment-lined tray and sprinkle with flaky sea salt on top for a delightful salty crunch.
  9. Set the Chocolate: Refrigerate the brownie balls for at least 1 hour to allow the chocolate coating to harden properly.
  10. Storage: Once set, store the brownies in an airtight container in the refrigerator, layered with parchment or wax paper, for up to 2 weeks. For longer storage, freeze them for up to 3 months.

Notes

  • You can substitute the almond flour with another nut flour if preferred, but it may affect texture slightly.
  • Use dairy-free chocolate chips to keep this recipe vegan-friendly.
  • Adjust the amount of honey if you prefer a sweeter or less sweet brownie.
  • To make peanut butter brownies, substitute almond butter with peanut butter.
  • Make sure to chill the balls well before dipping to prevent them from falling apart when coated in chocolate.
  • Store brownies in the refrigerator for best texture but allow them to come to room temperature before serving for softer bites.
