Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ cup honey or maple syrup
- ½ cup almond butter or peanut butter
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt
- ½ cup chopped dark chocolate or dairy-free chocolate chips
- 1 scoop protein powder (vanilla or chocolate flavor)
- Pinch of salt
- Optional toppings: shaved almonds, fresh berries, or cacao nibs
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with coconut oil.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, honey, vanilla extract, and Greek yogurt until smooth.
- Sift in the cocoa powder, protein powder, and salt into the wet mixture. Stir gently until well combined.
- Stir in the almond butter and chopped dark chocolate, mixing thoroughly.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading evenly with a spatula.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing or chill for an hour for a firmer texture.
Notes
- For extra flavor, top with shaved almonds, berries, or cacao nibs before serving.
- Ensure not to overbake to keep brownies moist and fudgy.
- You can substitute honey with maple syrup or a low-calorie sweetener for a different flavor profile.
