Peanut butter cup protein brownies, yum! Despite their calorific appearance these brownies actually live on the healthier side of life. They’re super fudgy, peanut butter heaven and chocolate indulgence. This is one recipe that I have totally fallen in love with.
Chocolate Protein Brownies
They contain no butter, flour and are low in refined sugar. Now I kid you, these are incredibly moreish, after one square you will be totally satisfied, which is one of the secrets that I have discovered when baking with protein powder. If like me and you have a certain addiction to peanut butter cups and anything that is remotely sweet and salty then I seriously consider that you try making these. I’m not proclaiming that I’m an expert in the field of brownie baking or anything, however, I really believe that this particular recipe is a keeper.
Chocolate Brownie Dessert
Once baked and out of the oven, you will be left with these melt in your mouth squares of chocolate deliciousness. Great served cold or warm with Greek yogurt or even ice cream if you are feeling particularly decadent – either way your belly will be so happy with you for this!
Healthier Chocolate Protein Brownies
In terms of their nutritional value, they’re grain-free, gluten-free and contain no butter, so I would say that they were healthier than most brownies out there. I would love to see if these could be made vegan by subbing in flax eggs instead of regular hens eggs – let me know if any of you try this out! Just to make you aware, the protein brownies batter recipe doesn’t contain any refined sugar itself, but some may be found in the type of dark chocolate chips that you use. Happy baking!

These look glorious! What type of protein powder do you use? I’m looking for one that’s natural based but also affordable..!
I love the peanut butter/ chocolate combo. But I also love mint chocolate, or cherry chocolate brownies.
These do look good! I’ve never tried baking with chocolate and peanut butter together, but it’s such an obvious combo…not sure why I’ve not done it sooner!
Sound and look divine!
I love eating brownies hot. My friends and me at uni would make a huge brownie and then sit around the table eating it from the baking tin with spoons, all blowing on our spoons to eat it as it was still piping hot. Lush!
Yum! Peanut butter in brownies are the best!
Wow! These sound awesome!
I love how chewy and rich these look! Brownies are defiantly best luke warm!
These look incredible!!

Is 180 degrees the correct baking temp? Seems low , but I’m an awful baker and could just be clueless…Please help, really want to make these correctly! .
Yes, that’s correct! I have a fan assisted oven. You might need to increase the temp/time for gas though. Hope you like them. ?
Looks delicious, I am making them now! But at 180 degrees for 15 mins they were totally not done! Lol so I’m trying them at 350 degrees and we shall see.
I have a fan assisted oven so it cooks them quite quickly. Hope they turn out well. 🙂
