Description

Deliciously rich and fudgy brownies made with protein-packed ingredients, swirled with creamy peanut butter.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cacao powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 cup hemp protein
  • 1/2 cup melted coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup brewed coffee
  • 1 cup coconut sugar
  • 1/4 cup flax seeds, ground
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 13x9x2 in baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, stir together cacao powder, baking soda, and hemp protein; add melted coconut oil and coffee, stirring until thickened.
  3. Add coconut sugar, flax seed-water mixture, and mix until combined.
  4. Incorporate flour, vanilla extract, and salt; mix until fully combined.
  5. Fold in chocolate chips and pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan.
  6. In another bowl, mix peanut butter and dollop on top of the brownie mixture; swirl gently with a butter knife.
  7. Cover with aluminum foil to prevent swirls from drying out and bake for 35-38 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out slightly wet with moist crumbs attached.
  8. Let cool completely before cutting into squares.

Notes

Allow brownies to rest completely before slicing to enhance flavor and moisture distribution. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
