These protein brownies are moist, fudgy, and packed with protein, offering a guilt-free indulgence with a rich chocolate flavor and a soft texture that lasts for days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour (can swap for almond flour to make gluten-free)
  • 1/2 cup (50g) chocolate protein powder (whey or plant-based, smooth texture recommended)
  • 1/4 cup (25g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar (can use coconut sugar or sugar substitute)
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) melted coconut oil (can substitute unsalted butter)
  • 1/4 cup (60g) plain full-fat Greek yogurt
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp espresso powder (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup (60g) dark chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, then add melted coconut oil, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and espresso powder if using. Whisk until smooth and glossy.
  4. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula, mixing gently until just combined. The batter should be thick and fudgy.
  5. Fold in dark chocolate chips if desired.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 20–25 minutes, checking at 20 minutes with a toothpick. It should come out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  8. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan for at least 15 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough brownies. Use room temperature eggs for better texture. Start checking brownies at 20 minutes to ensure fudgy texture. Cooling completely before slicing helps brownies set and stay moist. Metal pans conduct heat better than glass for even baking. These brownies freeze well; slice before freezing and separate layers with parchment paper.
