One of my favourite, quick treats is two-ingredient “magic” brownies. They’re made by simply mixing very ripe bananas with cocoa powder. I don’t know how they work but somehow they bake up into amazingly decadent, healthy goodness, hence the “magic” factor. These flourless protein brownies are an upgraded, extra rich and fudgy version that favourite.

I’m kind of obsessed…they’re right behind me in the fridge at this very moment…just sittin’ there, being all delicious and stuff…k, I’m going to get another one! But NBD, one brownie comes in at just 82 calories with 13 grams of carbs, 2 grams of fat and 5 grams of plant-based protein. So have one, or two..or three.

Build A Better Flourless Protein Brownie!

With my recent nutrition goals, I wanted to increase the protein content from the 2-ingredient recipe but also the yum-factor for a guiltless treat I could enjoy anytime, so I decided to add a few more delicious ingredients:

The unsweetened applesauce keeps them nice and moist with the addition of the protein powder as a second dry ingredient. You only need 5 ingredients in total to make these and they less than 5 minutes to prep. The only hard part is waiting for them to bake and cool.

Fudgy Flourless Protein Brownies

The result of the extra ingredients? Ooey, gooey, fudgy, rich, healthy flourless protein brownies you can eat for dessert, or for breakfast, or for a snack.
