Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup Whey protein powder, chocolate flavor
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt, plain
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips
- 0.25 cup Chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, cocoa powder, whey protein powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In another large bowl, combine unsweetened applesauce and Greek yogurt. Stir in the eggs, one at a time, until well incorporated. Add maple syrup and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet mixture, stirring with a spatula until a thick batter forms.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips and chopped nuts, if using, until evenly distributed.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out into an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs.
Allow the brownies to cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before cutting into squares.
Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy your protein-rich treat!
