Fudgy. Dense. Rich.
Proof that you can have dessert and still hit your targets. These brownies bring bakery-level indulgence with a macro-smart twist — soft, chocolate-loaded, and seriously hard to believe they’re this balanced.
You can use our Chocolate or Coffee Protein for this recipe - whatever you're in the mood for!
What You Need:
- 1 scoop Protein Lab Chocolate OR Coffee Protein Powder
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder (optional, but makes them extra rich)
- 2 tbsp oat flour (or finely blended oats)
- 1 tbsp almond flour (or normal flour)
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp Greek yoghurt (or plain yoghurt)
- 2 tbsp milk of choice
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- ½ tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
Optional Add-in:
- Dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
Method:
- Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a small baking dish or loaf tin.
- Add all ingredients to a bowl and mix until smooth and thick.
- Fold in chocolate chips if using.
- Pour batter into the tin and level the top.
- Bake for 15–18 minutes.
Tip: Slightly underbake for ultra-fudgy brownies. They firm up as they cool.
Optional Upgrades (Highly Recommended)
- Top with Greek yoghurt + fresh berries
- Drizzle with melted dark chocolate
- Sprinkle sea salt for contrast
- Serve warm with low-fat ice cream
