Ingredients

• 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 cup vanilla protein powder
• 0.5 cup almond flour
• 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 cup coconut oil
• 0.5 cup honey or maple syrup
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup dark chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper or greased foil.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, vanilla protein powder, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, melt the coconut oil over low heat. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the honey or maple syrup until well combined.

Step 4

In a large bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Add the vanilla extract and the honey-coconut oil mixture, stirring until smooth.

Step 5

Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined.

Step 6

Fold in the dark chocolate chips with a spatula to spread them evenly throughout the batter.

Step 7

Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish, using a spatula to smooth the top.

Step 8

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs attached.

Step 9

Allow the brownies to cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before slicing into squares and serving.
