These ultra-fudgy dairy-free brownies are a guilt-free indulgence packed with nutritious goodness, delivering approximately 10 grams of protein per serving to fuel your body and satisfy your sweet cravings. Made with creamy avocado, they boast healthy fats that contribute to sustained energy and skin nourishment, all while providing a decadent, melt-in-your-mouth texture that’s rich and velvety. The intense chocolate flavor is perfectly balanced by the smooth, moist crumb, making each bite irresistibly luscious. Thanks to the wholesome ingredients and lack of dairy, they're suitable for vegan and gluten-free diets—just ensure you use gluten-free oats or flour if needed. These brownies are ideal for post-workout recovery or as a nutritious snack on busy days, and they store beautifully for meal prep, offering a quick sweet fix whenever cravings strike. For best results, underbake slightly to keep the center fudgy and moist, and consider adding a sprinkle of sea salt or dairy-free chocolate chips on top for extra flavor. Whether enjoyed with a glass of plant-based milk or on their own, these brownies are a satisfying, health-conscious treat you’ll want to keep on hand!

4

Add protein powder, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Blend until combined. Fold in chocolate chips.

TROUBLESHOOTING

My brownies are too dry

Try adding 1-2 tablespoons more liquid (milk, yogurt, or egg whites). Also ensure you're not over-measuring the protein powder - use the scoop and level method.

They didn't rise properly

Check your baking powder is fresh (test by adding to hot water - it should bubble vigorously). Also, don't overmix the batter as this can deflate the air bubbles.

The texture is rubbery

This usually means too much protein powder or overbaking. Reduce baking time by 2-3 minutes and check doneness with a toothpick.
