Ingredients List
Brownie Layer
½ cup Greek yogurt (thick)
¼ cup melted butter or coconut oil
2 eggs
⅓ cup maple syrup or sugar-free sweetener
1 scoop chocolate protein powder
⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
½ cup oat flour (or almond flour)
½ tsp baking powder
Pinch salt
Cookie Layer
½ cup almond flour or oat flour
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
1 egg
2 tbsp melted butter
2 tbsp maple syrup or sugar-free sweetener
¼ cup dark chocolate chips
¼ tsp baking soda
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prep
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line an 8×8 baking pan with parchment.
Step 2: Make Brownie Layer
Whisk yogurt, butter, eggs, and sweetener.
Add protein powder, cocoa, flour, baking powder, and salt.
Spread evenly in pan.
Step 3: Make Cookie Layer
Mix almond flour, protein powder, egg, butter, sweetener, baking soda, and chocolate chips.
Spoon cookie dough over brownie layer and gently spread (doesn’t need to fully cover).
Step 4: Bake
Bake for 22–28 minutes.
Center should be slightly soft for fudgy texture.
Step 5: Cool
Cool completely before slicing for clean squares.
Chilling 30–60 minutes gives that thick bakery look.
Additional Notes
Slight underbake = extra fudgy center
Protein powder thickens texture naturally
Use whey for best softness
