Ingredients

Dry:

1/4 cup super-fine almond flour (30g)
1/4 cup super-fine oat flour (30g)
1/4 cup chocolate protein powder (30g)
2 Tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder (10g)
1/4 tsp. salt

Wet:

1/4 cup creamy peanut butter (64g)
2 Tbsp. milk (30g)
2 Tbsp. pure maple syrup (30g)
1 Tbsp. cane sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract

Chocolate coating:

3 oz. chocolate* semi sweet or dark chocolate
1 tsp. coconut oil
2-3 Tbsp. mini rainbow colored chocolate chips

Instructions

In a large bowl, mix the dry ingredients until no clumps remain.
Mix the wet ingredients in a small bowl first (makes things extra smooth, but honestly one bowl works too). Pour into the dry ingredients and stir until you get a thick, fudgy brownie-like dough.
Scoop the dough (about a heaping tablespoon each) and roll into balls. Place on a small parchment-lined baking sheet (one that fits in your fridge). If they start to feel sticky or soften/flatten, pop the tray in the freezer for 10–15 minutes to firm up.
Add the chocolate and coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted and smooth.
Dip each bite into the chocolate (or just spoon it over the top), lift out with a fork, let the excess drip off, then place back on the tray. Sprinkle rainbow chips right away and gently press them in before the chocolate sets.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until the coating is firm.

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 2–3 months. I love keeping a stash in the freezer for an easy grab-and-go chocolate snack — just let them sit out for a few minutes to soften.

*Good-quality semi-sweet or dark chocolate works best here (milk chocolate is a little too sweet). A chopped baking bar or chocolate chips both work great.
