Protein-Packed No Sugar Brownies
🍫 Healthier Protein Fudge Brownies
Okay, real talk: sometimes you just need a brownie. Not a "healthy" excuse for a brownie. An actual, dense, chocolatey, fudgy brownie — that also happens to pack 8–9 grams of protein per square. 🙌
That's exactly what these Healthier Protein Fudge Brownies deliver. We swapped out oil for unsweetened applesauce, used almond flour to keep things lower carb, and loaded them up with Buff Whey to make every bite work for your goals. The result? A brownie that's soft in the center, slightly crisp on the edges, and gets even fudgier as it cools. You've been warned.
Make a batch on Sunday and thank yourself all week. 🤎
Healthier Protein Fudge Brownies
MACROS (per brownie):
Makes 12 brownies
~160–170 calories
~8–9g protein
~16–18g carbs
~5–6g fat
~1.5–2g fiber
INGREDIENTS:
1½ cups unsweetened applesauce
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3 scoops Buff Whey
½ cup almond flour
½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
¼ cup maple syrup
2 egg whites
¼ cup whole milk
¼ cup chocolate chips
DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat & prep.
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line an 8×8" baking pan with parchment paper.
2. Mix your dry ingredients.
In a large bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, Buff Whey, almond flour, baking powder, and salt until fully combined.
3. Add the wet ingredients.
Stir in the applesauce, egg whites, maple syrup, and whole milk until the batter is smooth. If it feels too thick, add a splash more milk.
4. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Because more chocolate is always the right choice. 🍫
5. Bake.
Spread the batter evenly into your prepared pan and bake for 40–45 minutes, until the center is just set.
6. Cool completely.
This step is non-negotiable — these brownies get fudgier as they cool, so resist the urge to cut in early!
NOTE: Bake time may vary depending on your oven and pan. Start checking at 40 minutes — you want the center just set, not dry.
