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)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together peanut butter, eggs, Greek yogurt, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, mix chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, and baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until fully combined. Fold in chocolate chips, if using.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading evenly.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Let brownies cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
Notes
- For a fudgier texture, slightly underbake the brownies.
- Swap peanut butter for almond or cashew butter for a different flavor.
- Use sugar-free maple syrup or stevia-sweetened chocolate chips for a low-carb version.
