Whether you’re a fitness junkie, a busy parent, or someone just trying to snack a little smarter, this guide has you covered.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup chocolate protein powder (whey or plant-based, your call)
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder (unsweetened, of course)
  • 1/2 cup almond flour (or oat flour for a nut-free option)
  • 1/4 cup sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or a sugar substitute)
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (or unsweetened applesauce for dairy-free)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup almond milk (or any milk of choice)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the protein powder, cocoa powder, almond flour, and baking powder.
  3. In another bowl, mix the wet ingredients: Greek yogurt, eggs, almond milk, sweetener, and vanilla.
  4. Combine the wet and dry ingredients, stirring until smooth.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  6. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Cool before slicing—if you can wait that long.

Notes

  • Don’t Overbake: Protein powder can dry out quickly. Therefore, pull your brownies out when they’re just set to keep them fudgy.
  • Sift Your Dry Ingredients: Moreover, sifting guarantees no clumps in your batter, giving you a smoother mix.
  • Taste the Batter: Yes, raw batter is controversial; however, a quick taste (without eggs) can help you adjust sweetness.
  • Use Room Temperature Ingredients: Additionally, using room temperature ingredients allows everything to mix smoothly and evenly.
