These Fudgy Gluten-Free Vegan Protein Brownies are rich, chocolatey, and packed with plant-based protein. With a soft, chewy center and a crackly top, they deliver indulgent brownie flavor without gluten, dairy, or eggs. Perfect for dessert, snacks, or post-workout fuel.

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup vegan chocolate protein powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar or brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup or agave nectar
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or vegan butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup vegan chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour, cocoa powder, protein powder, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, whisk almond milk, coconut sugar, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined to form a thick, fudgy batter.
  5. Fold in the vegan chocolate chips.
  6. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
  7. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until edges are set and the center is slightly soft.
  8. Let cool completely before slicing for the best fudgy texture.

Notes

  • Do not overbake; the brownies will continue to set as they cool.
  • Use a plant-based chocolate protein powder for the best flavor.
  • Substitute applesauce or mashed banana for an oil-free version.
  • Add nuts, nut butter, or espresso powder for variations in flavor.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
