Low Sugar Protein Brownies

These Low Sugar Protein Brownies are super quick and easy and also gluten-free, dairy-free, low in sugar, and high in protein. They are the perfect for a post-workout snack or whenever you are having a sweet craving but still want added protein to keep you fueled for the rest of the day.

All you need for these Low Sugar Protein Brownies are a handful of ingredients that are likely already stocked in your pantry! I use PB2 Performance Peanut Protein with Dutch Cocoa in this recipe. It adds a delicious peanut buttery flavor, the perfect amount of sweetness (without adding any extra sugar!), and enough protein to keep you satisfied until your next meal.

What you need for these Low Sugar Protein Brownies:

• oat flour— blend oats in a food processor or high speed blender until you reach a flour-like consistency to make homemade oat flour. Alternatively, you can buy oat flour at most grocery stores on on Amazon. Use gluten-free oats if neccesary

• eggs— as a binder and to make them nice and fluffy

• chocolate protein powder— see above for the brand I used and why!

• coconut sugar— I like to use coconut sugar as an unrefined sweetener. Feel free to swap in regular sugar if preferred. My guess is that maple syrup or honey will also work but I have not tested it out myself yet

• cocoa powder— unsweetened. Cacao powder works as well

• milk of choice— almond, oat, cashew, coconut, etc.

• ghee— feel free to use butter or vegan butter instead. Just make sure it is softened!

• salt

• baking soda

• chocolate chips— to add to the batter… biting into a brownie with melt-y chocolate chips is the BEST!
