BROWNIES
Macro-verified protein brownies recipes with precise nutrition data. Every recipe measured in grams for precise macros.
What Are Protein Brownies?
Protein brownies are a guilt-free twist on the classic fudgy dessert, engineered to deliver a substantial protein boost while still being rich, chocolatey, and indulgent. By incorporating protein powder, black beans, Greek yogurt, or other protein-rich ingredients, these brownies typically pack 15-25 grams of protein per serving.
The magic of protein brownies lies in achieving that perfect fudgy texture while dramatically improving the nutritional profile. Unlike traditional brownies loaded with butter, sugar, and refined flour, protein brownies use healthier alternatives that reduce calories and increase protein content without sacrificing taste.
Whether you are craving something sweet after a workout, need a satisfying afternoon snack, or want a dessert that fits your macros, protein brownies deliver chocolate satisfaction with nutritional benefits. From classic fudgy to blondie variations, there is a protein brownie for every chocolate lover.

If using beans, blend them smooth first. Mix protein powder, cocoa, and dry ingredients in a bowl.

Create the Batter
Fold wet into dry ingredients. Batter should be thick and fudgy. Add milk if too dry.
