Ingredients

1 cup almond flour (or oat flour for nut-free)

1/2 cup plant-based protein powder (chocolate or vanilla)
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup almond butter (or any nut/seed butter)
1/2 cup maple syrup (or date syrup)
1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 Optional: cup dark chocolate chips (ensure they’re vegan)

Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, protein powder, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir in almond butter, maple syrup, almond milk, and vanilla extract until a thick batter forms. Fold in chocolate chips if using. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly soft. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares.
