Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup Whey protein powder
- 0.25 cup Oat flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup Honey or maple syrup
- 2 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Dark chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Grease a 9x9 inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, whey protein powder, oat flour, baking powder, and salt. Ensure there are no lumps.
In another bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, honey or maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can make the brownies tough.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips gently into the batter.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 10-15 minutes before slicing them into squares.
Serve the protein brownies warm or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
