These healthy protein brownies have 8.5 grams protein per serving and are fudgy and gooey just like traditional brownies! Ditch the boxed mix and reach for these healthier swaps in these delightful protein brownies.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup almond milk, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2/3 cup blanched almond flour (not almond meal)
  • 1/2 cup chocolate OR vanilla protein powder
  • 3 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup dairy-free chocolate chips (I like Enjoy Life brand)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and line an 8 x 8 inch baking dish with parchment paper or grease well with oil.
  2. In a large bowl whisk together coconut oil, maple syrup, eggs, almond milk and vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl combine almond flour, protein powder, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt.
  4. Slowly mix dry ingredients into wet ingredients until just combined.
  5. Fold in chocolate chips.
  6. Pour brownie batter into lined or greased baking dish.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until brownies are set and edges are crisp. For fudgier brownies I like to bake for closer to 25 minutes to keep them gooey inside.
  8. Allow to cool in the pan for 20 minutes.
  9. Cut brownies in pan and remove to cool completely on a wire rack. I like to cut into 9 brownies (3 x 3) or 12 brownies (3 x 4). Just note that they will be closer to 6 grams of protein in each if cut into 12 brownies.
  10. See storage instructions above.
