Today, I’d like to share with you my recipe for delicious chocolate fudge protein brownies. These brownies are not only incredibly tasty but also packed with extra protein, making them a perfect treat for my three active sons. They absolutely love brownies, and I wanted to find a way to incorporate some additional protein into their diet.

The protein in these brownies comes from the combination of eggs, ground nuts, chia seeds, oat flour, and chocolate protein powder. I personally prefer using whey powder, but you can use any type of protein powder you have on hand.
