Protein Brownie

This is SUCH a delicious protein brownie and can be enjoyed at ANY time of the day! It's the perfect 3pm or post workout snack. Plus, it can easily be made vegan for all my vegan friends! YAY! I love enjoying these with a bit of yoghurt and fresh berries....

Protein Brownie

ingredients

  • 1.5 cups Spelt Flour (or any other choice of flour)
  • 1 cup Whey Chocolate Protein Powder
  • 1/2 cup of Cacao
  • 1 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/3 cup Coconut oil (Melted)
  • 1 cup of Maple Syrup or Rice malt syrup
  • 2/3 cup Coconut Milk
  • 1 tablespoon of Vanilla Extract
  • Pinch of salt

Optional

  • 1/4 cup blueberries

method

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C fan-forced.
  2. Add flour, protein powder, cacao, baking powder and salt into a bowl and mix well. Make a well in the flour and then pour all the wet ingredients in.
  3. Mix well until all combined. If it is looking dry, add a little more coconut milk. Fold in blueberries if using.
  4. Pour into a deep lined baking tray and spread evenly from edge to edge.
  5. Place into the oven for 20-25 minutes. Using a fork or a skewer, place into the middle of the brownie and if it comes out clean, it's ready!
  6. Slice and EAT!

Leah's notes

Tip:

1. You can use another flavour of protein powder if you like! Simply add another 1/4 cup of cacao.

2. If this mixture is a little dry, add a little more coconut milk.
