Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup protein powder (whey or plant-based)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup almond butter (or peanut butter)
- 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- 1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- 2. Prepare Your Baking Dish: Grease an 8×8 inch baking pan with nonstick spray or line it with parchment paper.
- 3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the protein powder and cocoa powder. Whisk until well blended.
- 4. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- 5. Unite Forces: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined—avoid overmixing.
- 6. Bake Away: Spread the batter evenly in the prepared baking dish and bake for about 20-25 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out with a few moist crumbs.
- 7. Cool and Serve: Allow to cool slightly before cutting into squares. Enjoy!
