Ingredients
Scale
1 cup creamy almond butter
2 large eggs
½ cup pure maple syrup
¼ cup unsweetened almond milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
½ cup vegan chocolate protein powder (e.g., Nuzest)
¼ cup cocoa powder
¼ teaspoon sea salt (skip if almond butter is salted)
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ cup chocolate chips (plus more for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line with parchment.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together almond butter, eggs, maple syrup, almond milk and vanilla extract.
- Add protein powder, cocoa powder, sea salt and baking powder into the mixing bowl and stir until combined. If batter is dry, add a splash more milk.
