Cosmic Brownie Energy Bites

These Cosmic Brownie Energy Bites are pure childhood nostalgia in snack form. Fudgy, chocolatey, lightly sweet, and rolled in rainbow sprinkles for that classic cosmic brownie vibe. The kind of snack that feels fun, cozy, and indulgent, but is actually made with real ingredients and enough protein to keep you full.

They’re no-bake, come together in one bowl, and take less than 15 minutes of hands-on time. I make a batch at the start of the week, toss them in the fridge, and suddenly I’ve got a grab-and-go snack that feels like dessert but works for real life.

If you grew up loving cosmic brownies, these are going to hit in the best way.

What Makes These Taste Like Cosmic Brownies

A few simple ingredients do all the work here.

Cocoa powder and chocolate protein powder give that deep, brownie-like flavor.

Nut butter makes them rich and creamy and helps everything bind together.

Maple syrup adds just enough sweetness without being overpowering.

Mini chocolate chips give texture and extra chocolate in every bite.

Rainbow sprinkles are the finishing touch that makes them feel fun and nostalgic.

Ingredient Breakdown and Tips

Oat flour or almond flour both work well here. Oat flour gives a softer, classic brownie texture. Almond flour makes them slightly richer.

Cashew butter or almond butter keeps the flavor neutral and creamy. Peanut butter works too, but will change the flavor slightly.

Chocolate protein powder adds structure and helps them feel filling. Use one you actually like the taste of.

Cocoa powder deepens the chocolate flavor and keeps them fudgy.

Vanilla and salt balance the sweetness and enhance the brownie flavor.

Texture Check Before Rolling

Your dough should be thick, soft, and scoopable.

Too dry? Add a splash of milk or a little more nut butter
Too sticky? Add a spoonful of oat flour or protein powder

It should roll easily without sticking to your hands too much.

How to Make These Energy Bites Foolproof
