- Mini muffin pan
- A microwave-safe bowl
- (Optional) A piping bag
Ingredients
- 4 eggs large
- 1/3 cup erythritol
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 scoop(30.4g) Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard® 100% Whey Protein – Vanilla Ice Cream flavor or any protein powders of your choice
- 8 ounce sugar-free chocolate chips
- 1/2 cups chopped walnuts
- 1 container(150 gram) plain fat-free Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup quick oats
- some vegetable oil to grease the mini muffin pan
Instructions
- (*Optional) Add the quick oats to a blender or food processor. Place the lid on and grind at high speed until the oats turn into a fine powder. Set it aside. *You can skip this step if you prefer more oat textures in the brownie bites.
- Preheat oven to 340F (170C). Lightly grease a mini muffin pan with oil.
- Place the sugar-free chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and cover it with a saran wrap. Microwave for 1 minute. Remove from the microwave and stir. Continue to microwave in 30-second increments, stirring frequently, until the chocolate has fully melted.
- Add erythritol into the melted chocolate and mix until fully combined.
- Add yogurt into the melted chocolate mixture and mix well.
- Add eggs into the melted chocolate mixture and mix until fully combined.
- Add the powdered oats, baking powder, whey protein powder, and chopped walnuts and mix until well combined.
- Pour the brownie mixture into a mini muffin pan using a spoon or a piping bag, filling the tins almost all the way full. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the brownies comes out with moist crumbs and not completely dry.
- Allow brownie bites to cool in the pan and remove them out of the muffin pan.
- (Optional) Sprinkle with some coarse kosher salt and enjoy!
