Craving rich, chocolatey edible brownie batter but want to skip the raw eggs and refined sugar? This no-bake treat brings fudgy brownie goodness in 5 minutes using whole ingredients like almond butter, cocoa powder, and maple syrup!
Measure 1 cup almond butter, ¾ cup maple syrup, 1 cup chocolate protein powder, ½ cup cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and ½ cup chocolate chips. Having everything ready makes mixing quick and stress-free.
In a large bowl, whisk almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla until smooth and glossy. Add the protein powder and cocoa powder, stirring until the mixture forms a thick, fudgy brownie dough.
Check the batter's texture. If too thick, add almond milk 1 teaspoon at a time; if too thin, add more protein or cocoa powder. Fold in chocolate chips gently so they stay whole and create pockets of melty chocolate in the brownie dough.
Taste the batter and adjust the sweetness or chocolate intensity as needed. Eat by the spoonful or chill in the fridge for 30 minutes to let flavors meld and the texture firm up slightly.
Notes
Almond Butter: Use smooth, drippy almond butter for easy blending; avoid thick, crunchy varieties.
Protein Powder: I prefer plant-based proteins as they yield a softer batter. Adjust liquid as needed.
Extra Flavor: Toast almond butter briefly or add a pinch of instant espresso or sea salt for depth.
Texture Control: If too thick, add liquid 1 teaspoon at a time; if too thin, add protein powder or cocoa gradually.
