Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9 inch baking pan and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, mix together the cocoa powder, whey protein powder, almond flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Melt the butter and chocolate chips together in a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 4

In a large bowl, whisk together the honey, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth. Stir in the melted chocolate mixture.

Step 5

Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients just until combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading evenly.

Step 7

In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the Greek yogurt, vanilla whey protein powder, honey, egg white, and vanilla extract, beating until all ingredients are well combined.

Step 8

Pour the cheesecake mixture over the brownie batter in the pan, spreading evenly.

Step 9

Use a knife to gently swirl the brownie and cheesecake layers together to create a marbled effect.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Step 11

Let the brownies cool in the pan on a wire rack before slicing and serving.

Step 12

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
