Prep: 10 min · Cook: 22 min · Yield: 9 · Method: Oven

Ingredients

• 1 cup plain greek yogurt
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 cup maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 cup plain protein powder
• 0.75 cup oat flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Cooking instructions

1. Heat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment, leaving overhang on two sides. (about 5 min) — 350°F
2. In a medium bowl, whisk the Greek yogurt, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth. (about 3 min)
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, protein powder, oat flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and fold just until no dry streaks remain. Fold in the chocolate chips. (about 4 min)
4. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan. Bake until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs, 20 to 24 minutes. Do not overbake. (about 22 min) — 350°F
5. Cool completely in the pan before lifting out and cutting into 9 brownies. For the fudgiest texture, chill the cooled brownies for 30 minutes before slicing. (about 30 min)
