I am a huge fan of healthy brownies as you can tell if you’ve tried my Healthy Brownies, Applesauce Brownies, or Butternut Squash Brownies, or some of the dozens of other brownie recipes I have on this website. But I’m also working out every single days, as you might know if you follow me on Instagram. To combine my two passions, I decided to make protein brownies.
These protein brownies are healthier brownies made with protein powder to increase the nutrition profile of the recipe and make it fulfilling. Protein brownies have a cake-like texture with a delicious sweet chocolate flavor and are perfect for serving as a protein breakfast or post-workout snack. They are naturally:

Egg-free Dairy-free Oil-free Sugar-free option provided

It’s very easy to make a brownie with protein powder using a few basic pantry staples.

Old-fashioned rolled oats – feel free to use gluten-free certified oats if desired. Chocolate protein powder – we tested the recipe with pea protein powder and almond protein powder, but any range works well. Keep in mind that every protein powder has different liquid absorbencies and therefore, the texture of the brownies will change based on the protein source you are using. Unsweetened cocoa powder – for a strong chocolate flavor without adding any sugar to the batter. Baking powder – to give them a more airy texture. Liquid sweetener of choice – feel free to use your favorite refined sugar-free sweetener. The best option includes maple syrup, agave syrup, coconut nectar, rice syrup, or keto-friendly sugar-free maple-flavored syrup. Almond milk or any non-dairy milk you love. Yogurt – high-protein options are the best, like soy yogurt. Another option is to swap the yogurt for nut butter like almond butter, peanut butter, mashed bananas, or sweet potato puree. Dark chocolate chips – feel free to use a sugar-free brand to decrease sugar. Vanilla extract – for flavor
