    espresso protein brownies

    These espresso protein brownies are a perfect treat for coffee lovers. And for chocolate lovers! Which means its perfect for almost everyone! Especially if you're looking for a way to sneak in some extra protein, because the espresso flavor comes from a Chocolate Espresso Protein powder!

    These brownies are great for those days when you're looking for a bit of indulgence! It satisfies that chocolate craving with a hint of caffeine plus a nice dose of protein. Now that's a great treat!!

    What ingredients do I need to make espresso protein brownies?

    • Coffee flavored protein powder- this is the brand that I use. I think the protein powder is delicious on its own. Plus it has the added collagen which is a really nice benefit to these brownies: protein and collagen!
    • Cocoa Powder - look for a natural unsweetened version so you can control the sweetness yourself
    • Vanilla Extract - the vanilla helps to bring out the sweetness flavor in the cocoa flavor
    • Melted Butter - you can also use melted coconut oil in this recipe
    • salt - just a pinch to really bring out the intense flavors of the chocolate and coffee
    • All Purpose Flour
    • Eggs
    • Sugar

    You can use any protein powder you prefer. If you are not able to get your hands on a coffee flavored protein powder, use either espresso powder or instant coffee granules to get a similar intense coffee flavor.

    What else can I add?

    • Nuts - go nuts with it! Add some chopped nuts right into the batter
    • Chocolate - there's no such thing as too much chocolate, so feel free to add chocolate chips or chunks to the batter
    • More coffee - You can definitely amp up the coffee flavor even more by adding either espresso powder or instant coffee granules. I do not recommend add in liquid coffee to this because the liquid to dry ratio will affect the baking time and texture of the brownies themselves
