Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup whey protein powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the brown sugar until well combined and smooth. Let the mixture cool slightly.
Beat the eggs in a small bowl and then add to the butter and sugar mixture. Stir in vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whey protein powder, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined to avoid overmixing.
Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts, if using.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few crumbs.
Allow the blondies to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before cutting them into squares.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy your protein-rich treat!
