Chocolate Protein Brownies Recipe
Description
This recipe combines almond flour, collagen powder, cacao powder, cane sugar, baking powder, and a few liquid ingredients including avocado oil, peanut butter, hemp milk, eggs, and vanilla. The wet ingredients are whisked until semi-smooth, then incorporated into the dry mix, producing a thick batter suitable for spreading rather than pouring. Mini chocolate chips are folded in for bursts of chocolate. The mixture is pressed evenly into a parchment-lined 8x8 pan and baked at 350°F for 25 minutes. After cooling, a drizzle made by melting mini chocolate chips with coconut oil is added. The brownies should be cooled completely before slicing to maintain their delicate structure. Refrigerate to preserve freshness due to the eggs, but serve at room temperature for best texture.
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- ¼ cup collagen powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup mini chocolate chips make sure they're dairy and gluten free
- 2.5 tbs avocado oil
- ¼ cup cacao powder
- ⅓ cup cane sugar
- 2 tbs peanut butter
- ⅛ cup hemp milk
- chocolate sauce
- ⅛ Cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahernheit.
- In a large bowl, mix together all the dry ingredients except the chocolate chips and pecans.
- In a smaller bowl, whisk the wet ingredients until semi-smooth.
- Pour the wet into the dry and mix well.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and pecans.
- Line an 8x8 baking tray with parchment paper and dump/scrape out the batter.
- Use a silicone spatula to smooth and portion it out until even.
- Bake for 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.
- Once cooled, heat the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a double boiler until just melted. Whisk them together and drizzle over the brownies.
- Cut into 9 squares.
Notes
- The batter is very thick; use a spatula to spread it evenly in the pan.
- Allow the brownies to cool fully before slicing to prevent crumbling.
- Store in the fridge because of eggs, but serve at room temperature for best flavor.
- Protein powder cannot be substituted for collagen powder here.
- The chocolate drizzle may carry a slight coconut flavor depending on the coconut oil used.
