Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup creamy almond butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup vegan chocolate protein powder
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips plus more for topping

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together almond butter, eggs, maple syrup, almond milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Add protein powder, cocoa powder, sea salt, and baking powder to the bowl. Stir until fully combined.
  • If the batter feels too thick or dry, add an extra splash of almond milk.
  • Fold in chocolate chips gently.
  • Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  • Top with additional chocolate chips if desired.
  • Bake The Best Protein Brownies for 25–30 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before slicing into squares.

Notes

  • You can substitute almond butter with cashew butter or peanut butter.
  • Use dairy-free chocolate chips to keep the recipe fully dairy-free.
  • Serve warm with fresh berries or a drizzle of almond butter.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for the best texture.
