Get the Recipe: 4 Ingredient Protein Brownies
These 4 Ingredient Protein Brownies are soft, rich, and deeply chocolatey. Made with ripe bananas and peanut butter, they taste sweet, moist, and fudgy. Every bite is smooth, slightly gooey, and packed with bold chocolate flavor without flour or refined sugar.
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups mashed ripe bananas
- 1.5 cups all natural creamy peanut butter
- ⅓ cup dark cocoa powder
- ½ cup chocolate protein powder
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips, optional
Instructions
- First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line an 8 inch square pan with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, peanut butter, cocoa powder, and protein powder. Stir until a dough is formed.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Transfer this mixture into the lined pan. Smooth into an even layer.
- Bake for 18 to 21 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with only a few moist crumbs.
- Finally, remove these protein brownies from the oven. Allow them to cool before slicing.
Notes
- Use all natural creamy peanut butter. It should be made from only peanuts and salt.
- If desired, replace with all natural almond butter or cashew butter.
- Use ripe bananas for best results.
- Bake only until the middle looks barely set. These brownies are meant to be gooey.
- Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
- Then, store in the fridge or freezer.
