So, gather your ingredients and let's whip up a batch of these heavenly brownies!
Ingredients:
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 scoop Flush Performance Vegan Protein Powder (chocolate or vanilla flavor)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
- Additional chocolate chips for topping (optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions:
-
Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe banana into a smooth paste using a fork or immersion blender until no large chunks remain.
-
Mix in the Ingredients: Add the Flush Performance Vegan Protein Powder, unsweetened applesauce, cocoa powder, and dairy-free chocolate chips to the bowl. Mix everything together until you have a thick batter. It may seem dry at first, but it will become wetter as you mix.
-
Prep the Pan: Line a standard-size loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly coat it with non-stick cooking spray. This will prevent the brownies from sticking to the pan.
-
Add Toppings (Optional): For an extra treat, sprinkle 2-3 tablespoons of additional chocolate chips on top of the batter before baking.
-
Bake the Brownies: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20 minutes, or until the brownies are set.
-
Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before slicing them into 8 pieces. You can either enjoy them directly from the pan or use the parchment paper to lift the whole pan out and slice them on a cutting board.
Notes:
- These Vegan Chocolate Chip Brownies have a rich, dense texture reminiscent of mousse, thanks to the absence of flour, added sugar, oil, or fat.
- The banana flavor in these brownies adds a subtle sweetness. If you're not a fan of bananas, you may adjust the amount or substitute with another fruit puree.
- The sweetness of the brownies may vary depending on the protein powder used. Opt for a sweeter protein powder if you prefer a sweeter taste.
- For added texture and flavor, consider adding crushed walnuts to the batter.
- After baking, try spreading the melted chocolate chips on top to create a thin layer of chocolate glaze.
- To make these brownies sugar-free, use sugar-free chocolate chips such as Lily's.
Conclusion:
With just a handful of wholesome ingredients and a scoop of Flush Performance Vegan Protein Powder, you can whip up a batch of indulgent Vegan Chocolate Chip Brownies that are sure to satisfy your sweet cravings. Whether you enjoy them as a post-workout snack or a guilt-free dessert, these brownies are a delicious way to fuel your body and treat yourself to a little indulgence.
