Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup dairy-free chocolate protein powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup maple syrup
- 0.25 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with a non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, chocolate protein powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix together the almond milk, maple syrup, applesauce, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the dairy-free chocolate chips until evenly distributed within the batter.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly using a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter.
Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool in the baking dish for at least 15 minutes.
After cooling, lift the brownies out of the dish using the parchment paper and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Cut into 12 squares and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
