Fudgy Protein Brownies – Amazing, Healthy, Low Calorie!

Okay this might actually be protein brownie goals right here; It’s rich and fudgy like you want any brownie to be, but also low calorie and sugar free and healthy overall.

It took 3 attempts and lets just say those first 2 were very bad fails. Ended up having protein bars instead of brownies.

This third one was so good I indulged in 3 of these just after shooting them because I couldn’t wait any longer.

Ingredients for Healthy Fudgy Protein Brownies

These fudgy chocolate protein brownies are made with a few healthy ingredients, and have no eggs, no oil, no sugar and gluten free too; The perfect chocolate protein powder recipe!

• Chocolate Protein Powder needed for high protein brownies and also replaces most of the ‘sugar’. See below for details here.
• Unsweetened Cocoa Powder, or Raw Cacao Powder (HAYLSKITCHEN.15OFF to save on Kiva Cacao)
• Gluten Free (All Purpose) Baking Flour – or a regular all purpose flour
• 1:1 Zero Calorie Sugar Substitute – I use Lakanto, to keep this recipe sugar free; (code HAYLSKITCHEN for a discount here too)
• Non-fat Greek Yogurt contributes to the oil-free part of these high protein brownies since it adds the moisture, and also extra protein
• Almond Milk or regular milk
• Baking Soda
• Creamy Peanut Butter (no butter or oil to keep this recipe low fat)
• Sugar free Chocolate Chips or Chopped Chocolate – I use sugar free ones from Lakanto here (HAYLSKITCHEN for a discount here as well). Lily’s is another sugar-free option!

What Protein Powder to use?

Baking with protein powder can be tricky, and the best protein powder I’ve found for this is a whey-caesin blend Quest Nutrition; I used their Chocolate Milkshake protein powder for this recipe.

I haven’t tried Whey protein, pea protein or other plant based ones, so I can’t say how those would work here.

Be sure to use a chocolate protein powder sweetened with stevia or monk fruit if you want a proper sugar free brownie recipe.
