Ingredients

Scale

  • ½ cup (60g) unflavored or chocolate protein powder (whey, casein, or plant-based)

  • ½ cup (50g) unsweetened cocoa powder (Dutch-process for deeper flavor)

  • ½ cup (50g) oat flour (can substitute with almond flour or blitzed oats)

  • ¼ cup (30g) almond flour (or replace with more oat or all-purpose flour)

  • ¼ tsp fine sea salt

  • ½ tsp baking powder

  • 2 large eggs (or 2 flax eggs for vegan)

  • ½ cup (120g) Greek yogurt or unsweetened applesauce (choose based on protein/dairy needs)

  • ½ cup (100g) coconut sugar, light brown sugar, or sweetener of choice (e.g., erythritol, stevia blend)

  • ¼ cup (60ml) unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)

  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

  • ¼ cup (60g) dark chocolate chips (optional; use sugar-free for low carb)

  • Nonstick spray or parchment paper (for lining pan)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven:
    Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper or spray with nonstick cooking spray.

  • Mix dry ingredients:
    In a large bowl, whisk together protein powder, cocoa powder, oat flour, almond flour, salt, and baking powder.

  • Mix wet ingredients:
    In another bowl, beat the eggs (or flax eggs), Greek yogurt or applesauce, sweetener, almond milk, and vanilla until smooth.

  • Combine:
    Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until fully combined and smooth.

  • Add chocolate chips:
    Fold in dark chocolate chips if using.

  • Bake:
    Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the center is just set.

  • Cool & serve:
    Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing into squares. Enjoy warm or store for later.

Notes

  • Low-carb tip: Use almond flour and a sugar-free sweetener to reduce carbs.

  • Vegan option: Use flax eggs and applesauce instead of eggs and yogurt.

  • Nut-free option: Replace almond flour with more oat flour.

  • Storage: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze up to 2 months.

 

  • Add-ins: Mix in walnuts, chopped almonds, or a swirl of peanut butter for variety.
