Viral High Protein Brownie Bites (Healthy & Fudgy)
If you’ve seen the viral high-protein brownie bites all over social media and wondered, are they actually good? — the answer is yes!
These brownie bites are:
- Naturally sweetened with Medjool dates
- Packed with protein
- Fudgy and rich (not dry or chalky)
- Dipped in glossy chocolate
- Finished with flaky sea salt
They taste like brownie truffles, but made with real ingredients.
And the best part? No baking required.
Texture Tips (So They’re Actually Fudgy)
- Use very soft, fresh Medjool dates
- Don’t skip the salt, it enhances chocolate flavor
- Add liquid slowly if adjusting texture
- Chill before eating
- Store in the fridge for best consistency
Favorite Tools & Ingredients
• Medjool Dates – Soft, fresh dates make ALL the difference
• High-Quality Cocoa Powder or even healther Cacao Powder
• Chocolate Protein Powder – Whey/casein blend works best for texture
• Food Processor – Essential for that smooth brownie dough
• Organic Dark Chocolate Chips – I always use high-quality chocolate for dipping
• Flaky Sea Salt – The finishing touch that elevates everything
Easy Variations
Espresso Brownie Bites
Add 1 teaspoon espresso powder.
Peanut Butter Brownie
Use peanut butter and drizzle extra on top.
Dark Chocolate Pistachio
Fold in chopped pistachios before rolling (very chic).
Extra Fudgy
Add 1 teaspoon melted coconut oil to the dough.
Dessert, But Make It Healthy
And that’s it, the viral brownie bites that actually live up to the hype.
They’re rich, chocolatey, naturally sweetened, and packed with protein (approx 8g per bite)… but still taste like a true dessert.

High Protein Brownie Bites
Ingredients
Brownie Bites
- 1 ½ cups fresh Medjool dates pitted
- 2 tablespoons almond flour
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons almond butter nut or seed butter of choice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch sea salt
Chocolate Coating
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 heaping teaspoon coconut oil
- Flaky sea salt for topping
Instructions
- Add the pitted dates to a food processor and blend until they form a sticky paste.
- If your dates are slightly dry, soak them in warm water for 5 minutes, then drain thoroughly before blending.
- The texture should look thick and caramel-like.
- Blend until the mixture forms a thick, fudgy dough.
- It should resemble dense brownie batter and hold together when pressed between your fingers.
- If slightly crumbly (this depends on your protein powder), add 1 teaspoon warm water at a time until it comes together.
- Scoop and roll into 1-inch balls.
- Place on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for 20 minutes to firm up.
- They become denser and more brownie-like once chilled.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips with coconut oil in 20-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth and glossy.
- Dip each chilled brownie bite into melted chocolate.
- Place back on parchment and sprinkle with flaky sea salt before the chocolate sets.
- Chill 10–15 minutes until fully set.
