Ingredients
1 cup chocolate protein powder
1/2 cup almond flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/3 cup almond butter
1/4 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C)
Line an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper
Mix chocolate protein powder, almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl
In a separate bowl, whisk almond butter, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and eggs until smooth
Fold wet ingredients into dry mixture until a fudgy batter forms
Spread batter evenly into the prepared baking dish
Bake for 25 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs
Cool completely before cutting into 12 squares
Notes
Use unsweetened, low-sugar protein powder for a healthier option
Almond flour can be substituted with blanched almond butter for a moister texture
Replace almond butter with peanut butter, cashew butter, or coconut oil for variation
Substitute eggs with 2 flax eggs (2 tbsp ground flaxseed mixed with 6 tbsp water) for a vegan version
Freeze uneaten brownies for up to 2 months for quick snack access
