Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup chocolate protein powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup nut butter (almond or peanut)

Add-ins

  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (70% cacao)
  • Optional: 1/4 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8 inch baking pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, chocolate protein powder, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Add the maple syrup and nut butter to the dry mixture and stir well until the batter is smooth and rich.
  4. Incorporate Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  5. Pour Batter and Bake: Pour the completed batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  6. Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes, checking towards the end for firmness around the edges while keeping the center slightly soft.
  7. Cool and Slice: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares for clean, fudgy portions.

Notes

  • Use a high-quality dark chocolate chip with at least 70% cacao for richer flavor and less sugar.
  • For a nut-free version, substitute nut butter with sunflower seed butter and use nut-free chocolate chips.
  • Adding chopped walnuts or pecans provides crunchy texture but is optional.
  • Ensure the brownies cool completely to achieve the best fudgy consistency before slicing.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
