Step-by-Step Instructions

Making these protein brownies recipe is super simple—just mix, bake, and enjoy. Follow these steps, and you’ll have the perfect batch of rich, chocolatey brownies in no time! Here’s how to do it:

Step 1: Melt the Chocolate

Throw 1 cup of chocolate chips into a microwave-safe bowl, and add the melted coconut oil. Microwave for 40–50 seconds, then stir. Continue heating in 20-second intervals, stirring each time, until smooth.

Note: Be careful—chocolate burns fast! Once melted, set it aside to cool slightly.

Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and coconut sugar until smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract, then slowly add the melted chocolate.

Note: Make sure the chococlate is not too hot, or you’ll end up with scrambled eggs!

Step 3: Add the Dry Ingredients

Time to bring in the protein powder brownie batter! Add the chocolate protein powder, almond flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Use an electric mixer or a whisk to blend everything until you get a thick, velvety brownie batter.

Step 4: Fold in More Chocolate

For extra melty goodness, gently fold in the remaining chocolate chips. Because let’s be honest, there’s no such thing as too much chocolate.

Step 5: Bake to Perfection

Pour the batter into a greased or parchment-lined 8×8-inch pan. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25 minutes. The edges should look set, but the center should still be a little soft. Don’t overbake—nobody wants dry brownies!

Step 6: Cool and Enjoy

Let the brownies cool in the pan before slicing. I know, waiting is the hardest part, but trust me, this helps them stay extra fudgy. Once they’re set, dig in and enjoy the best high-protein brownies you’ve ever had!
