Discover the perfect balance of flavors in protein banana brownies. These fudgy brownies are a delicious and nutritious dessert made with organic black cocoa.

Imagine a dark black cocoa brownie that is fudgy and gooey in the middle with hints of banana and peanut butter topped with chocolate chips.

Luckily for me, these fudgy protein banana brownies are the epitome of everything you’d expect from a brownie recipe.

It’s always hit or miss when I’m testing new recipes in the CBB kitchen, especially desserts, as they are an exact science regarding measurements.

Dark Black Cocoa Protein Banana Brownies

For these protein banana brownies, I chose to add pure maple syrup as a sweetener and our favorite Krisda sugar-free chocolate chips.

You can substitute pure maple syrup with brown sugar and regular chocolate chips.

You’ll notice that the protein banana brownies are dark black, and that’s because I used my favorite organic black cocoa.

Only one brand was available when I first ordered it, but now there are a few.

It’s a bit pricey on Amazon, but a bag of black cocoa goes a long way and smells like crushed Oreo cookies.

Oreo cookies are made with black cocoa to show you how dark these banana protein brownies are.

The secret ingredients in the protein banana brownie recipe are black cocoa and a hint of instant espresso powder.

Espresso instant coffee brings out the flavor in chocolate and takes it to another level.

Protein Powder Options

I used a vegan vanilla bean protein powder from Good Protein; however, you can use a whey protein.

Whey protein and our gastrointestinal tract do not mix; vegan protein powder is a wife-saver.

I also have vegan chocolate protein powder, which works as efficiently as chocolate whey protein.

Ensure the protein powder you purchase is sugar-free and of the best quality.
