R E C I P E

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper
2. In a large bowl, whisk together all the ingredients until combined.
3. Fold in chocolate chips gently with a spatula.
4. Pour and spread the batter evenly in the prepared baking pan (I used a 9x13in pan).
5. Bake for 20 minutes (toothpick should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs).
6. Let the brownies cool in the pan for at least 15-20 minutes before slicing.

T I P S

• I have gotten into the habit of both greasing my pans and lining them with parchment paper to avoid any chance of sticking. I like using avocado oil spray as a healthier alternative to traditional vegetable oil spray.
• A lot of baked goods continue cooking on the hot pan after you remove them from the oven, and I find this is especially true for brownies. So do not be afraid to take them out when they still look soft or slightly underbaked. They will continue to firm up as they cool (and slightly underbaked brownies are always better than burnt ones in my opinion!).

This was the first recipe I tried using protein powder, and it definitely made me excited to try more. I will be testing out different protein powder recipes and trying to find the healthiest and tastiest options. It was definitely a fun post-workout treat for us, and I am sure you will enjoy it!
