Healthy Protein Brownies
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup chocolate protein powder (I used a vegan version)
- 1 cup almond flour
- 3 tbsp cacao powder
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/2 cup unsweetened dairy-free milk
- 1/3 cup chocolate chips (I used Enjoy Life dairy-free chips)
- 3 tbsp creamy peanut butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, add the almond flour, protein powder, cacao powder, coconut sugar, baking soda and salt. Whisk to combine.
- In a smaller mixing bowl, add the eggs, applesauce, and milk. Whisk to combine.
- Then pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and use a wooden spoon to stir until the batter comes together. Next, add the chocolate chips and give it one more stir.
- Spray an 8x8 inch baking dish with cooking spray, then pour the batter into the dish. Use the back of a spoon to smooth out the top.
- Use a spoon to dollop the peanut butter all over the top of the batter, then use a butter knife to swirl the peanut butter all over the batter. There is no specific technique to this, just swirl it in all directions.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes. Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before cutting and serving.
