Ingredients
- 1 cup oat flour (120 g)
- 1/2 cup chocolate protein powder (50 g)
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (35 g)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup natural almond butter (120 g)
- 1/3 cup pure maple syrup (80 ml)
- 1/4 cup honey (60 ml)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk (80 ml)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (90 g)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper and lightly grease.
- In a large bowl, whisk together oat flour, protein powder, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, mix almond butter, maple syrup, honey, eggs, almond milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gradually combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, stirring until a thick, smooth batter forms.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, reserving a small handful for topping.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan and sprinkle remaining chocolate chips on top.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes, until the center is just set and a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool completely in the pan before slicing into 9 brownies.
Notes
- Do not overbake to maintain a fudgy texture; the center should remain slightly soft.
- Substitute sunflower seed butter for a nut-free version.
- Use dairy-free chocolate chips and plant-based protein powder for a dairy-free option.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 7 days.
- Freeze individually wrapped brownies for up to 2 months and thaw before serving.
