These moist and tangy protein brownies, made with creamy Greek yogurt, deliver an impressive 23 grams of high-quality protein per serving, making them the perfect treat to fuel your active lifestyle. Packed with wholesome ingredients, they offer a balanced macronutrient profile—combining healthy carbs, lean protein, and a touch of healthy fats—helping to support muscle recovery and satisfy your sweet cravings without guilt. The texture is irresistibly fudgy and dense, with a slight tanginess from the yogurt that enhances the rich chocolate flavor, creating a delightful contrast in every bite. Whether enjoyed post-workout to replenish energy or as a nourishing snack during busy days, these brownies are versatile and satisfying. They are naturally gluten-free when made with gluten-free flour options, and vegan adaptations can be easily achieved by swapping Greek yogurt for plant-based alternatives. For best results, be careful not to overmix the batter to keep the brownies tender and moist, and consider refrigerating them for a firmer texture. Perfect for meal prepping, they store well in the fridge, allowing you to enjoy a protein-packed treat whenever cravings strike.

INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together the protein powder, oat flour, cocoa powder, sweetener, and baking powder.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-28 minutes.
Let the brownies cool completely before slicing.
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.
