Cuisine: Snack
Serves: 20 bites
Ingredients
- 1 cup bone broth
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1/2 cup protein powder
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and necessary kitchen tools: mixing bowl, whisk, silicone mold or parchment-lined baking sheet, measuring cups, and spatula.
- Melt coconut oil in a small saucepan over low heat until completely liquid, stirring gently to ensure even heating.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine bone broth, cocoa powder, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, protein powder, and vanilla extract.
- Whisk ingredients thoroughly until a smooth, consistent mixture forms with no visible lumps, ensuring all components are well incorporated.
- If mixture appears too thin, refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to allow it to slightly firm up and become more manageable.
- Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, portion the mixture into silicone molds or drop onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, creating uniform bite-sized portions.
- Place molded bites in the refrigerator for approximately 30-45 minutes to set and firm completely.
- Once set, remove bites from molds or baking sheet and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Ensure your coconut oil is gently melted, not overheated, to preserve its nutritional integrity.
- Whisk with Purpose: Take time to blend ingredients thoroughly to avoid lumpy texture.
- Chilling is Key: If the mixture seems too runny, don't panic! A quick 10-15 minute refrigeration will help it set perfectly.
- Portion Precision: Use a cookie scoop for uniform, Instagram-worthy bites that look as good as they taste.
- Storage Hack: These bites keep well in an airtight container for up to a week, making meal prep a breeze.
- Customize Your Flavor: Experiment with different protein powders or add a pinch of sea salt for extra depth.
