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.
