Ingredients:
1 cup peanut butter
2 large eggs
¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
½ cup maple syrup or honey
½ cup chocolate protein powder
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
⅓ cup chocolate chips (optional)
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, eggs, Greek yogurt, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, combine the chocolate protein powder, unsweetened cocoa powder, and baking powder.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until fully combined and smooth. If using chocolate chips, gently fold them into the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before cutting into squares.
