Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup whey protein powder (unflavored or chocolate)
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup walnuts, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the protein powder, almond flour, all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a large bowl, cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar with a hand mixer until light and fluffy.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until the dough is just combined.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips and chopped walnuts with a spatula.
Using a small ice cream scoop or tablespoon, drop cookie dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Slightly flatten each dough ball with the back of a spoon.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
Remove from the oven and let the brookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your high protein brookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage.
