INGREDIENTS

  • 4 oz box unsweetened dark chocolate with 100% Cacao (roughly chopped)
  • 1 tablespoons coconut oil
  • ½ cup ground oats can be replaced with coconut flour
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt as per taste
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon dutch cocoa powder
  • ½ cup whey protein powder make sure its of high quality

    (see notes)

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon dark chocolate chips
  • ½ cup hazelnuts chopped

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray an 8x8 inch square baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Line it with an organic parchment paper. Set aside.
  • Melt dark chocolate with coconut oil in the microwave at 30-second increments. Whisk until smooth and lump-free.
  • Add ground oats, flaky sea salt, baking powder, dutch cocoa powder, whey protein powder, eggs, and pure vanilla extract to melted chocolate and whisk lightly until combined.
  • Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
  • Top with dark chocolate chips and chopped hazelnuts. Bake for 30-35 minutes until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs at the center.
  • Allow the brownie to cool down completely at room temperature. Cut in squares using a plastic knife. Enjoy with more hazelnuts on top.

Notes

I have used Vanilla Flavored Whey Protein Powder to get the best whey protein. However, you can replace it with chocolate or Almond flavored whey protein.
