Use the right protein powder. Not all protein powders are equal. Casein, brown rice, and pea protein powders are far superior to whey protein powder or whey protein blends. Whey based powders tend to dry out baked goods.
Make the brownies sweeter. These brownies rely on the banana and the sweetened protein powder for sweetness. Add a few tablespoons of sugar or maple syrup if you prefer sweeter brownies.
Do not overbake them. Once the brownies are firm on top and a skewer comes out mostly clean, they are ready to be removed from the oven.
Add mix-ins. Like any good brownie, these are a blank canvas, so fold through some chocolate chips, walnuts, or even candy!
Frost them. To take these brownies to another level, add a layer of sugar free or healthy frosting to them.
Make protein brownie bites. Instead of baking them in the square pan, bake them in a muffin tin for a protein-packed version of brownie bites.
Storage instructions
To store: Leftovers should be stored in the refrigerator, covered, as they will spoil at room temperature. They will keep well for up to five days.
To freeze: Place the brownies in an airtight container and store them in the freezer for up to 6 months.
