• 180 milliliters boiling water
• 60 milliliters unsweetened almond milk
• 40 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
• 60 grams vanilla protein powder
• 120 grams almond flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 large egg
• 60 milliliters coconut oil, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 50 grams dark chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper.

Step 2

Place the pitted dates in a bowl, pour boiling water over them, and let them soak for about 10 minutes to soften.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cocoa powder, vanilla protein powder, almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.

Step 4

Drain the dates and add them to a food processor along with the almond milk. Blend until you get a smooth paste.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, then mix in the melted coconut oil and vanilla extract.

Step 6

Add the date paste and wet egg mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir until all components are well incorporated.

Step 7

Fold in the dark chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 8

Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean, with just a few moist crumbs.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Once cool, slice into 12 portions and serve. Enjoy these high-protein treats any time of the day!
