Indulge in these guilt-free brownies that pack a punch with 15 grams of high-quality protein per serving, making them the perfect treat to support your active lifestyle. Crafted with wholesome ingredients, they offer a satisfying combination of rich, fudgy texture and a subtly nutty flavor that melts in your mouth. The dense, moist consistency provides a delightful contrast to traditional baked goods, while the balanced macros—low in fat and calories—make them an ideal choice for a post-workout recovery snack or a nutritious midday pick-me-up. These brownies are versatile enough for meal prep, allowing you to enjoy a protein-rich dessert anytime you crave something sweet but nourishing. For those with dietary restrictions, they can easily be made gluten-free by using almond or coconut flour, and vegan options are simple with plant-based protein powder and flax eggs. To achieve the best results, be sure to measure your ingredients accurately and avoid over-baking to preserve their moist, tender crumb. Whether you're aiming to boost your protein intake or simply craving a wholesome indulgence, these brownies deliver on flavor and nutrition without compromise.

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.
