Fudgy Protein Brownies are rich, chocolatey treats with a boost of protein, perfect for a healthy dessert or post-workout snack. Made with wholesome ingredients and lower in sugar, they satisfy cravings without the guilt.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup protein powder (chocolate or unflavored)
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup almond flour or oat flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or mashed banana
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter (or other nut butter)
  • 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Optional: 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips, chopped walnuts, or 1/2 tsp espresso powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, Greek yogurt (or banana), nut butter, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Add in cocoa powder, protein powder, almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir until fully combined.
  4. Fold in optional chocolate chips or nuts if using.
  5. Spread batter evenly into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  6. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  7. Cool completely in the pan before slicing into 9–12 brownies.

Notes

  • For extra fudgy brownies, slightly underbake and chill before slicing.
  • Use plant-based yogurt and flax eggs to make it vegan.
  • Almond flour keeps these gluten-free—double-check ingredients if needed.
  • Add a pinch of espresso powder to deepen the chocolate flavor.
