Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes
Yield 9 protein brownies

Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond flour (for nut free, try these Healthy Brownies)
  • 1/3 cup protein powder
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder (I like Dutch)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup melted coconut oil or butter
  • 2 eggs or 2 flax eggs
  • 2/3 cup sugar or granulated erythritol
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease an 8-inch pan, or line it with parchment. Stir all ingredients well. Spread into the pan, using a second sheet of parchment if needed to press down evenly. Bake 20 minutes, then let cool. They continue to firm up as they cool and also firm up even more if you very loosely cover and refrigerate overnight. Frosting ideas are listed above.
