Ready to whip up a batch? Here's what you'll need:
Ingredients (Makes 6 servings):
- 50g equ Creamy Chocolate Whey Protein Isolate
- 50g Cocoa Powder
- 300g Ripe Banana (around 3 bananas)
- 40g Peanut Butter
- 40g Milk Chocolate Chips
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Mash the bananas in a large bowl until smooth.
- Add the creamy chocolate whey protein isolate, cocoa powder, and peanut butter to the mashed banana. Mix everything well until fully combined.
- Gently fold in the milk chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Transfer the batter to a baking tray lined with baking paper.
- Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the brownies cool completely before slicing them into squares and serving.
Tips:
- For an extra fudgy brownie, bake for closer to 30 minutes. If you prefer them a little chewier, aim for 20-25 minutes.
- Don't have chocolate whey protein isolate? No problem! You can substitute it with an equal amount of unflavored whey protein isolate or even vegan protein powder.
- Want to make them nut-free? Simply omit the peanut butter. You can add a drizzle of melted chocolate or a sprinkle of chopped nuts on top for an extra flourish (once the brownies are cool).
- Craving a different flavor combination? Feel free to experiment with different protein powder flavors or add in some chopped nuts or seeds for an additional textural element.
Enjoy these delicious and nutritious Peanut Butter Banana Protein Brownies! They're the perfect post-workout snack or a satisfying treat to curb your afternoon cravings.
