These fudgy Protein Brownies are made with almond flour, protein powder, chocolate chips and more. They are a gluten free and satisfyingly filling dessert thanks to 8 grams of protein per slice.
Preheat your oven to 325°F/160°C. Prepare an 8-inch square baking pan by lining the bottom with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan on low heat melt ½ cup chocolate chips and the coconut oil. Stir in the sugar. Then mix in the whisked eggs and vanilla extract.
To the wet ingredients add almond flour, protein powder, and sea salt. With a spatula mix together the dry ingredients and the wet mixture until a smooth batter forms.
Fold in remaining chocolate chips and toasted pecans, if using. Then pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.
Bake the protein brownies for 20-25 minutes. The top should look set and the centre will be no longer jiggly.
Let the brownies cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for 1-2 hours before slicing.
Store the brownies refrigerated in an airtight container for up to a week.
