Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240g) plain Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt)
  • ½ cup (120g) natural peanut butter (or almond butter)
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup (50g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ cup (120ml) maple syrup, honey, or sugar-free syrup
  • ½ cup (50g) protein powder (chocolate or vanilla)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (90g) dark chocolate chips (optional, for extra richness)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven

    • Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper.

  2. Mix wet ingredients

    • In a large bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, peanut butter, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.

  3. Add dry ingredients

    • Stir in cocoa powder, protein powder, baking powder, and salt until just combined.
    • Fold in chocolate chips if using.

  4. Bake

    • Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top.
    • Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (don’t overbake).

  5. Cool and slice

    • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting. They will firm up as they cool.
    • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.

Notes

  • Use whey, casein, or plant-based protein powder—just keep in mind that texture may vary slightly depending on the type.
  • Swap peanut butter for almond butter or sunflower seed butter for a nut-free version.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of instant coffee powder to enhance the chocolate flavor.
