Description
These Fudgy High-Protein Brownies are soft, chocolatey, and easy to make with simple ingredients. Greek yogurt keeps them moist, while protein powder adds extra protein to this delicious dessert or snack.
Ingredients
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup maple syrup or honey
- 1/4 cup natural peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup oat flour
- 1/2 cup chocolate protein powder
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup milk, as needed
- 1/3 cup mini dark chocolate chips, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
- Mix the wet ingredients: Add Greek yogurt, eggs, maple syrup, peanut butter, and vanilla to a bowl. Whisk until smooth.
- Add the dry ingredients: Stir in the oat flour, protein powder, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Adjust the batter: Add milk a little at a time if the batter feels too thick. It should be thick but easy to spread.
- Add chocolate chips: Fold in the chocolate chips if using.
- Fill the pan: Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan.
- Bake: Bake for 20–25 minutes. The center should look set but still slightly soft.
- Cool: Let the brownies cool completely before slicing. This helps them become more fudgy.
- Slice and serve: Cut into 12 squares and enjoy.
Notes
Storage
Store the brownies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
You can also freeze them for up to 3 months. Wrap individual brownies before freezing so they are easy to grab later.
