Equipment

  • 1 9-inch square baking pan greased
  • 1 Mixing Bowl large
  • 1 Whisk

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup protein powder
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Optional Add-ins

  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts
  • 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the protein powder, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until well combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, honey, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Fold in any optional add-ins.
  • Pour the batter into the greased baking pan and spread evenly. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Serving

  • Allow brownies to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing into 8 pieces.

Storage

  • Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.

Notes

Pro Tips: Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for easy mixing. Avoid overbaking to keep the center fudgy.
Ingredient Substitutions: Substitute Greek yogurt with almond or soy yogurt for a dairy-free version.
How to Serve: Enjoy with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat.
Storage & Freshness: Keep in a sealed container to maintain moisture and freshness.
Make-Ahead Tips: Prepare the batter in advance and refrigerate overnight for quick baking the next day.
