One-Bowl Chocolate Protein Brownies

🕥 Prep time: 10 mins* | Bake: 27–30 mins | Cool: 20 mins | 🥣 Serving: 9 small squares* (one 6-inch pan) | Recipe by: @kaylasweetreats

Fudgy, rich, and made in ONE bowl!! 🍫 These little brownies get a double hit of chocolate (melted and chopped), a scoop of EarthChimp Choc stirred right into the batter, and a sprinkle of sea salt on top. The 6-inch pan makes a small batch, perfect for a weekend treat or splitting with the family. Grab a whisk and let’s go!

Ingredients:

Wet

  • 4 tbsp melted butter (vegan: plant-based butter)
  • 1 tbsp neutral oil, like avocado oil
  • ½ cup sugar or sweetener of choice (vegan: organic cane or coconut sugar)
  • 1 egg (vegan: 1 flax egg, see tip below)
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste*

Dry

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 scoop (⅛ cup) EarthChimp Choc
  • Pinch of sea salt, plus extra for topping

Chocolate

  • ½ cup melted chocolate (vegan: dairy-free dark chocolate)
  • ⅓ cup chopped chocolate or chocolate chips, 1 tbsp reserved for the top (vegan: dairy-free chips)
💡 Flax egg tip: Mix 1 tbsp ground flaxseed with 3 tbsp water and let it sit 5 minutes until gel-like. The batter won’t whip up as pale and puffy as with an egg, but you’ll still get a fudgy brownie.

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 6-inch cake pan and line it with parchment.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter, oil, sugar, egg, and vanilla until light, fluffy, and pale yellow.
  3. Add the flour, cocoa powder, EarthChimp Choc, and a pinch of salt, then pour in the melted chocolate. Stir until a batter forms.
  4. Fold in the chocolate chips (save that tablespoon for the top!).
  5. Pour the batter into your pan, smooth it out, and scatter the reserved chips on top.
  6. Bake for 27–30 minutes, until the top is set and no longer looks wet.
  7. Let the brownies cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes so they set.
  8. Slice with a plastic knife for smoother edges, sprinkle with sea salt, and dig in!
