Description
These protein powder brownies are rich, fudgy and full of chocolate flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup (65g) Naked Nutrition chocolate whey protein powder
- 5 tbsp (40g) all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 cup (175g) dark chocolate chips
- ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, cubed
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- ½ cup (85g) coconut sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla bean paste
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tbsp mini chocolate chips (optional)
- Pinch salt flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
- Combine the chocolate whey protein powder, flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt in a bowl, stirring to aerate the dry ingredients.
- Place ⅔ of chocolate chips and butter in a bowl and microwave for short 30 second bursts until the butter starts to melt. Stir well until the chocolate has melted and set aside to cool.
- Beat the eggs, coconut sugar and vanilla in a large mixing bowl using a hand mixer until pale, frothy and at least doubled in size. Beat in the maple syrup.
- Add the melted butter and chocolate mixture and stir to combine.
- Sift in the dry ingredients and fold until you have a gooey chocolaty batter. Stir in the remaining chocolate chips.
- Spread the batter into the prepared pan, scatter with the mini chocolate chips and bake for 15-17 minutes, or until the brownies are set at the edges but still a little wobbly in the middle.
- Cool the brownies in the pan before slicing. Sprinkle with the salt flakes and serve.
Notes
- Allow brownies to cool in the pan for best results.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container.
