How to Make Flourless Almond Butter Protein Brownies
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8×8-inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper. Lightly grease the paper for easy removal later.
Combine the creamy natural almond butter, maple syrup (or honey), eggs, and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
Add the protein powder, unsweetened cocoa powder, and baking soda to the wet mixture. Mix gently, ensuring that all your dry ingredients are incorporated without overmixing.
Fold the chocolate chips into the batter if you're using them to add an extra layer of chocolatey goodness.
Spoon the thick brownie batter into the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula to spread it evenly.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, testing for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center.
Cool the brownies completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing.
Optional: Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top before serving for a delightful contrast in flavors.
