Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium ripe bananas
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup vanilla protein powder
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup egg whites
- 3 tablespoons stevia or sweetener of choice
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray an 8x8-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas thoroughly until smooth.
Add the unsweetened applesauce, egg whites, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Whisk until well combined.
In another bowl, mix together the vanilla protein powder, cocoa powder, stevia, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chopped walnuts, if using.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.
Remove from oven and let cool in the baking dish for about 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting into 9 squares.
Serve and enjoy your low-fat protein brownies as a healthy treat!
