  • 1 scoop whey protein powder or plant-based if you’re vegan
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 large eggs or flax eggs for a vegan option

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, mix all the dry ingredients: almond flour, cocoa powder, protein powder, and baking powder until well combined.

Notes

Feel free to experiment with different nut butters or add-ins to customize the flavor. These brownies can be made vegan by substituting eggs with flax eggs and using a plant-based protein powder. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to a week or freeze for up to three months for a quick snack later. To boost flavors, consider adding a dash of cinnamon or a rum of vanilla extract. Enjoy your baking adventure!
