Ingredients

For the Brownies:

  • 1 cup creamy almond butter
  • 2 eggs
  • ¼ cup coconut oil , softened
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3 scoops chocolate protein powder
  • ¼ cup honey or maple syrup

For the Icing:

  • 2 Tbsp coconut oil
  • 3 Tbsp cocoa powder
  • 3-5 drops liquid stevia
  • 2 Tbsp organic chocolate sprinkles or chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  • In a stand mixer, beat together all brownie ingredients until smooth. Pour into a 9x9” baking pan, sprayed with nonstick coconut oil spray.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the center springs back when gently touched. Remove and cool. If icing is desired, melt coconut oil. Stir together with cocoa powder and just enough stevia to make it sweet, drizzle over the top of the brownies. Garnish with sprinkles or nuts, if desired. Place in the fridge or freezer until icing firms up.
