Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1.5 cups brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup whey protein powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the brown sugar until well combined and smooth. Let the mixture cool slightly.

Step 3

Beat the eggs in a small bowl and then add to the butter and sugar mixture. Stir in vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whey protein powder, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined to avoid overmixing.

Step 6

Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts, if using.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few crumbs.

Step 9

Allow the blondies to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before cutting them into squares.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy your protein-rich treat!
