Equipment
- Mixing bowls
- Mixing spoons
- Measuring cups and spoons
- 1 8x8 pan
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 large eggs
- ⅓ cup chocolate protein powder
- 2 tbsp Cocoa powder
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ⅔ cup zero calorie sweetener (granulated sugar substitute)
- ⅓ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease or line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, chocolate protein powder, zero-calorie sweetener, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir them together until well combined.
- In another bowl, mix the plain Greek yogurt, eggs, and vanilla extract. Make sure the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir them together until you have a thick, uniform brownie batter. Make sure there are no lumps.
- Gently fold the mini chocolate chips into the brownie batter. Reserve a few chips for topping if desired.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula to spread it evenly.
- Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes or until the brownies are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter). Baking times may vary, so keep an eye on them.
- Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes. Then, use the parchment paper to lift them out of the pan and place them on a wire rack to cool completely. Slice into 9 even pieces and enjoy!
Notes
These brownies are great for slicing, packaging, and refrigerating as a meal-prepped treat. Brownies will be good in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
The Greek yogurt can be swapped for melted coconut oil for a more fudge-like brownie.
