Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium Egg or 1 flaxseed egg for a vegan option

  • 1/3 cup Maple Syrup honey can be used as an alternative
  • 1/2 cup Almond Butter can be swapped with peanut butter or any favorite nut butter
  • 1 scoop Protein Powder recommended plant-based or casein for better texture
  • 1/2 cup Almond Flour substitute with oat flour if needed
  • 1/4 cup Cocoa Powder ensure it’s unsweetened for best results
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract use pure for best results

Equipment

  • 7x7 inch baking pan

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a 7x7 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe banana and then mix in the egg, maple syrup, almond butter, vanilla extract, and salt until creamy.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the protein powder, almond flour, and unsweetened cocoa powder, then gradually mix it into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  4. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan, sprinkle chocolate chips if desired, and bake for about 18-20 minutes.
  5. Allow brownies to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
