How to Make Protein Brownies
INGREDIENTS –
- 1 cup mashed banana
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup chocolate protein powder
OPTIONAL ADD-INS –
- milk or dark chocolate chips
- nuts – almonds, walnuts, pecans
INSTRUCTIONS –
Preheat and Prepare:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8 x 8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
Mix Ingredients:
In a bowl, mix all your ingredients and mix with a high-speed blender until smooth.
Bake to Perfection:
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until set (we want fudgy, not dry!).
Cool and Cut:
Allow your protein brownies to cool in the baking dish for about 10 minutes or until mostly room temperature before transferring them to a wire rack. Once completely cooled, cut them into squares.
