Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy almond butter
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup pure maple syrup
- ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup chocolate protein powder - I used 1UP Chocolate Milkshake use code BAILS at checkout to save 20% on all products
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¼ tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips plus extra for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix together the almond butter, eggs, maple syrup, almond milk, and vanilla until smooth.
- Add in the protein powder, cocoa powder, sea salt, and baking powder. Stir until fully combined and no clumps remain.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, saving a few for sprinkling on top.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. If your batter feels a bit thick or dry (thanks to certain almond butters or protein powders), just stir in a splash of milk to smooth it out! Top with extra chocolate chips.
- Bake for 17-20 minutes or until the edges are set and the center is still slightly soft — do not overbake.
- Let them cool in the pan, then slice and devour. Gooey centers = bonus points.
