Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line with parchment.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together almond butter, eggs, maple syrup, almond milk and vanilla extract.
Add protein powder, cocoa powder, sea salt and baking powder into the mixing bowl and stir until combined. If you notice your batter is on the drier side (which could happen depending on what almond butter or protein powder you use), add a splash more milk!
Gently fold in chocolate chips.
Transfer mixture to the prepared pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until brownies are set in the center and a toothpick comes out mostly clean. Let brownies cool completely (trust me, they test better cool, plus you won’t burn your mouth). Cut into squares and enjoy!

Notes

Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. For longer storage, place brownies in a freezer-safe, airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months.
