PROTEIN COSMIC BROWNIE BARK
This no-bake cosmic brownie bark has all the fudgy, chocolatey nostalgia, but made with better-for-you ingredients and a protein boost!
Servings: 12 squares
Ingredients
Brownie Bark:
- ½ cup coconut butter
- ¼ cup coconut oil
- ½ cup creamy almond butter
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup dairy-free chocolate chips
- ½ cup dairy-free chocolate protein powder (I used Be Well By Kelly)
- 2 tablespoons collagen (I used Needed)
- 1 tablespoon cacao powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
Chocolate Topping:
- 1 ½ cups dairy-free chocolate chips
- 2 teaspoons coconut oil
- Dye-free sprinkles
Instructions
- To a small saucepan, add the coconut butter, coconut oil, almond butter, and maple syrup. Heat on low, stirring occasionally, until there are no chunks remaining.
- Add the chocolate chips and vanilla extract and cook until the chocolate is just melted, stirring frequently. Remove from heat.
- Add the protein powder, cacao powder, collagen, and salt, stirring to incorporate.
- Line a sheet pan with parchment paper (I used a 1/4 sheet pan) and spread the mixture evenly until it is 1/2 inch thick.
- To make the chocolate topping, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in the microwave in 45-second increments, stirring between, until fully melted.
- Top the brownie bark with the melted chocolate, smoothing into an even layer. Add the dye-free sprinkles.
- Refrigerate for a few hours until the bark is set. Slice and enjoy!
Notes
This bark is best enjoyed slightly chilled, so store it in the fridge.
