Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup vanilla protein powder
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup coconut oil
- 0.5 cup honey or maple syrup
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper or greased foil.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, vanilla protein powder, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a small saucepan, melt the coconut oil over low heat. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the honey or maple syrup until well combined.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Add the vanilla extract and the honey-coconut oil mixture, stirring until smooth.
Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips with a spatula to spread them evenly throughout the batter.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish, using a spatula to smooth the top.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs attached.
Allow the brownies to cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before slicing into squares and serving.
