Makes 9 servings
Ingredients
- 1 c all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1½ c unsweetened soy milk
- ½ c semi-sweet chocolate chopped into pieces (or use chocolate chips)
- ½ c granulated sugar
- 1¼ c chocolate plant-based protein powder
- 3 flax eggs see ingredient list above for more info
- ¼ c avocado oil
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt then set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 375℉ (190℃) and lightly oil an 8x8-inch baking pan.
- In a medium saucepan heat the milk until just simmering (about 5 minutes on medium-low heat) then remove from the heat.
- Add the chocolate and stir until melted.
- Whisk in the sugar and protein powder then stir until incorporated and smooth.
- Add the flax eggs, oil, and vanilla then mix until just combined.
- Fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until everything is combined and no dry spots remain. The batter should be thick but not dry.
- Spread the batter evenly in the prepared baking pan and bake for 25-35 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the middle comes out clean.
- Once out of the oven, let the brownies cool completely for at least 2 hours at room temperature. Once cooled, cut into 9 even slices and enjoy!
