Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 4 ripe bananas, mashed
  • ¾ cup almond milk

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 2 scoops protein powder
  • 2 tbsp flaxseed powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8’’x8’’ baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Blend Wet Ingredients: Place the mashed bananas and almond milk into a blender and blend until you achieve a smooth, uniform texture.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: Pour the blended banana mixture into a mixing bowl, then add the cocoa powder, protein powder, flaxseed powder, and baking powder.
  4. Mix Batter: Thoroughly combine all ingredients with a spatula or whisk until the batter is smooth and well incorporated.
  5. Prepare for Baking: Transfer the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly to ensure uniform baking.
  6. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the brownies are fully set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Notes

  • Make sure bananas are very ripe for natural sweetness and moisture.
  • Protein powder can be any flavor, but chocolate or vanilla work best.
  • Substitute almond milk with any plant-based milk if preferred.
  • Allow brownies to cool completely before slicing for cleaner cuts.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
