Ingredients
Scale
- One cup of peanut butter (either creamy or chunky, based on your preference.)
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup Greek yogurt (plain, preferably full-fat)
- ½ cup maple syrup (or honey as an alternative sweetener)
- ½ cup chocolate protein powder (use your favorite brand)
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ⅓ cup chocolate chips (optional, for extra texture and sweetness)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare an 8×8-inch baking pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper to facilitate easy lifting of the finished dish.
- Mix the wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, eggs, Greek yogurt, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine the dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, stir together the chocolate protein powder, unsweetened cocoa powder, and baking powder.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until fully combined. If using chocolate chips, gently fold them into the batter.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan, ensuring it is distributed evenly across the surface.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with only a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and serve: Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them into squares. Enjoy as a high-protein snack or dessert!
Notes
- Storage: Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- Freezing: Wrap individual brownies in plastic wrap and freeze in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
- Customization: Add chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or a sprinkle of sea salt to elevate the flavor.
- Sweetener Options: Maple syrup can be replaced with agave nectar, date syrup, or stevia for a lower-carb version.
