Chocolate Protein Brownies Take 2

Chocolate Protein Brownies Take 2

There seems to be a lot of love for my (sweet potato) protein brownies (thanks Ollie Best!) but not everybody liked the idea of sweet potato in a brownie.. so, listening to demand here is a new chocolate protein brownie recipe, minus the potato (and replaced with another secret ingredient!!).

To make these delicious chocolate protein brownies you will need:

1 can (240g drained) of chickpeas

3 egg whites

1 scoop chocolate protein powder (or swap for ~1 tbsp cocoa & ~3 tbsp milk powder)

100g dark chocolate chips

½ teaspoon coconut oil (vegetable oil will do)

2 heaped tablespoons of quick oats or porridge oats

2 tbsp of sugar or stevia (calorie free sweetener)

½ teaspoon of baking powder
1/4 teaspoon of salt

 

 

And here's what to do..

1) Add the chickpeas, egg whites, chocolate protein powder, oats, sugar/stevia, salt and baking powder to a food processor.. whizz until smooth.

2) Melt the oil and dark chocolate chips for a few minutes in a microwavable bowl and add to the food processor then whizz again.

3) Pour in to a small baking tray lined with baking paper and smooth out with a spatula

4) Bake in the oven for 25 minutes at 175 degrees C until cooked

5) Slice in to 9-12 slices, allow to cool and enjoy!
