How to Make Our Protein Brownies
Step 1: Prep
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).
Line a baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the flour, chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Stir well to evenly distribute everything.
Step 3: Add the Wet Ingredients
Add the Greek yogurt, eggs, sweetener, and vanilla extract to the bowl.
Mix until smooth and fully combined. The batter should be thick but spreadable.
Step 4: Bake
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly with a spatula.
Bake for 18–22 minutes, until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.
Step 5: Cool & Slice
Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the pan.
Once cooled, slice into brownies and serve.
Storage & Serving Suggestions
- Store brownies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- For a warm treat, reheat briefly in the microwave.
- Serve with berries, Greek yogurt, or a light nut butter drizzle for extra protein and flavor.
