Servings: 12
Ingredients
Dry
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- ¼ cup chocolate protein powder we used Garden of Life Chocolate Whey
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips + more for topping
Wet
- 1 cup unsalted all-natural peanut butter drippy
- ½ cup maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup plain unsweetened almond milk*
- ½ cup chocolate chips melted
- 3 tablespoons melted coconut oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF and line a light-colored 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper.
- Add all of the dry ingredients into a mixing bowl and mix to combine. Set aside.
- Next, cream the peanut butter, maple syrup, brown sugar, and vanilla together and mix until combined and smooth.
- Add the eggs and almond milk and stir to combine.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix until well combined. Add the coconut oil and stir again.
- Fold the melted chocolate into the batter. Do not over-mix the melted chocolate in so it is combined with the batter, fold it in so there are fudgy pockets throughout the batter.
- Transfer the batter into the line-caked pan. Option to top the batter with more chocolate chips.
- Bake the brownies for 35-40 minutes or until the center of the brownies is almost baked. You want there to be a little bit on the toothpick when you check the middle of the brownie as the brownie will continue to cook when it is removed from the oven.
- Allow the brownies to cool for 3-5 minutes before gently loosening the sides of the brownie with a knife and then lifting the parchment paper. Transfer the brownies to a cooling rack.
- Serve warm with ice cream (they will fall apart) or let them cool completely before slicing them into brownie squares.

Notes
- The bake time may vary depending on the oven, what pan is used, and whether or not you are baking at altitude.
- If you know one side of your oven bakes hotter than the other, turn the baking pan in the oven halfway through the baking time.
- Feel free to add other delicious brownie mix-ins.
