Ingredients

• 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 cup Chocolate-flavored protein powder
• 0.5 cup Almond flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Peanut butter (or almond butter)
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 0.25 cup Honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup Dark chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened cocoa powder, chocolate-flavored protein powder, almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, almond milk, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.

Step 4

Add the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix until a thick batter forms. If the batter is too thick, add a little more almond milk, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach the desired consistency.

Step 5

If desired, fold in the dark chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.

Step 6

Transfer the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean (a few moist crumbs are okay).

Step 8

Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Once cooled, slice the brownies into 12 squares. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
