Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup chocolate protein powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons almond butter (or peanut butter)
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, protein powder, baking powder, and salt.
  • Add the almond butter, honey or maple syrup, applesauce, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.
  • Fold in the dark chocolate chips, if using.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before slicing into squares.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free option, choose a plant-based protein powder.
  • You can swap the applesauce with mashed banana for a slight variation in flavor.
  • If you want extra chocolate flavor, add a handful of chocolate chips or drizzle melted chocolate on top after baking.
