The Ingredients for Healthy Edible Brownie Batter

This simple, clean recipe uses just a few whole ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need:

• 1 Cup Almond Butter: Choose smooth almond butter with no added sugar or preservatives. Almond butter provides the creamy, rich base that holds everything together. It also gives the batter a satisfying texture and healthy fats that make it filling.
• 3/4 Cup Maple Syrup: This natural sweetener is a great alternative to refined sugar. It gives the brownie batter just the right amount of sweetness while providing a few essential minerals and antioxidants.
• 1 Cup Protein Powder: We recommend using chocolate-flavored protein powder to keep the chocolatey flavor consistent. Protein powder not only adds protein to your batter but also helps achieve the perfect consistency. If you want a dairy-free option, go for plant-based protein powder like pea protein or brown rice protein.
• 1/2 Cup Cocoa Powder: Cocoa powder gives the batter that deep, rich chocolate flavor that you’re craving. Make sure to use unsweetened cocoa powder for the best results.
• 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract: The vanilla extract rounds out the flavor profile and complements the rich chocolate notes. You’ll love how it enhances the overall sweetness of the batter.
• 1/2 Cup Chocolate Chips: Add some extra indulgence by stirring in chocolate chips! You can use dairy-free chocolate chips or go for dark chocolate for a more intense flavor. The melty chocolate bits give every bite that irresistible brownie texture.

How to Make Healthy Edible Brownie Batter

The beauty of this recipe is that it’s quick, easy, and doesn’t require baking!

Add all of the ingredients except the chocolate chips—almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla, protein powder, & cocoa powder, into a large mixing bowl. Stir them together until smooth and well-combined. Mix everything together until you get a thick, brownie-like batter.

For the finishing touch, fold in your chocolate chips. They’ll melt slightly in the batter, giving it that classic, gooey brownie texture that’s hard to resist.

Personalization Tip: Taste your Healthy Edible Brownie Batter and see if it needs any extra sweetness. If you prefer it sweeter, add a touch more maple syrup. You can also throw in more chocolate chips if you’re a serious chocolate lover (guilty).

Alternative Ingredients for Healthy Edible Brownie Batter

Want to customize your Healthy Edible Brownie Batter to fit your dietary needs or preferences?

• Nut-Free Option: Replace almond butter with sunflower seed butter or tahini for a nut-free version.
• Different Sweeteners: Swap maple syrup for honey, date syrup, or agave nectar, adjusting to taste.

• Cocoa Powder Substitutes: Use raw cacao powder for a richer chocolate flavor or carob powder for a naturally sweet, caffeine-free alternative.
• Chocolate Chip Variations: Swap regular chocolate chips for dark chocolate, dairy-free chocolate, or cacao nibs for a less sweet, antioxidant-rich option.

Why Make Healthy Edible Brownie Batter?

You might be wondering, why should you opt for a healthier brownie batter instead of just digging into the raw dough you’re used to? Here’s why:

No Raw Eggs: Traditional brownie batters contain raw eggs, which pose a risk for food-borne illnesses. My Healthy Edible Brownie Batter is completely egg-free, making it safe to eat right from the bowl.

Includes Protein: My edible brownie batter recipe uses protein powder to create a rich, satisfying texture. It’s an easy way to sneak in some extra protein without compromising on flavor!

Healthy Fats from Almond Butter: The almond butter in this recipe provides healthy fats that keep you full longer. Almond butter is a great source of monounsaturated fats, which are known for their heart-healthy benefits.

Sweetened Naturally: We skip the refined sugar and sweeten this batter with maple syrup. Not only does maple syrup provide a touch of sweetness, but it also comes with a few added health benefits, like antioxidants and minerals.

Gluten-Free and Dairy-Free: This edible brownie batter is both gluten-free and dairy-free, making it perfect for those with dietary restrictions or anyone looking to make a healthier choice.

Tips for the Best Healthy Edible Brownie Batter

• Texture: If you want your batter a little creamier, feel free to add a splash of almond milk or water to loosen it up.
• Customization: Don’t be afraid to mix in other fun ingredients like chopped nuts, dried fruit, or a dash of sea salt to enhance the flavor.
• Storage: If you don’t finish it all in one sitting (which, let’s be honest, is highly unlikely), store your brownie batter in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Just give it a good stir before you eat it again! You can also freeze it!
