    Zubereitung

    1
    Soak the dates in hot water for about 10 minutes.
    2
    Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (top and bottom heat).
    3
    Put all ingredients in a blender and blend until you get a thick, smooth batter. Make sure your dates have no pits or remove them before soaking – your blender will thank you.
    4
    Line a baking pan with parchment paper, pour in your batter, and smooth it out. If you like, you can top it with chocolate chips now.
    5

    Into the oven! Bake your protein brownies at 180 degrees Celsius for about 30 minutes.
    Important: The brownies should still feel soft. They will firm up over time. So don’t bake them too long, or it will turn more into a chocolate cake.


    Recipe Note

    Tip: If your protein brownies brown on top before the baking time is up, you can cover them with some aluminum foil.

    About this recipe

    Making high protein brownies has never been this easy and delicious! Our vegan protein brownies are simply the best:

    • They are suuuuper moist! 

    • Vetain’s protein powder turns the brownies into real protein bombs. Plus, it contains easily digestible and many valuable nutrients. 

    • The kidney beans and nut butter increase the protein content even more! And don’t worry, you won’t notice the bean flavor in the end!

    • Additionally, nut butters contain fatty acids that are good for your body.

    Our protein powder: Vetain's Vegan Protein Cocoa

    May I introduce? Vetain’s Vegan Protein Cocoa – the clean protein powders at a glance:

    • High-quality multi-component protein

    • With organic ingredients

    • Delicious, natural flavor from natural aromas

    • Free from gluten and lactose, artificial additives & sucralose

    • High quality: made under strict standards in Germany and lab-tested

    • Super tasty: high-quality cocoa powder and natural cocoa flavor give an intense, natural taste

    We might be a bit biased, but for us, Vetain’s protein powder is the ideal ingredient in protein brownies. It not only tastes delicious but also provides your body with high-quality proteins that take your brownies to the next level!

    Substitution table

    How often do we want to cook a recipe but are missing certain ingredients or don’t like some components? For this case, we have a substitution chart for you so you can adjust the protein brownies recipe however you like! Simply swap individual ingredients as you wish!

    • Kidney beans → black beans, chickpeas (add a bit more liquid here)

    • Dates → very ripe bananas, applesauce

    • Plant-based milk alternative → milk in all forms and varieties, both plant-based and animal-based

    • Cashew butter → Almond butter, Peanut butter

    • Chocolate protein powder → other protein powders like vanilla or hazelnut, or simply flour

    • Raw cocoa → regular cocoa powder

    • Baking powder with Weinstein → regular baking powder

    Our protein brownies are vegan, but of course, you can also use animal-based ingredients if you want!


    *Raw cocoa differs from baking cocoa in nutrient content. Raw cocoa is gently processed, unlike baking cocoa, so it still contains many antioxidants and minerals.
    **We like to use cream of tartar baking powder because, unlike regular baking powder, it contains no added phosphates.

      Frequently asked questions

      Compared to classic brownies, our protein brownies contain more important nutrients such as protein, healthy fatty acids and fiber. We therefore affectionately call them our “Fitness Brownies”.

      The protein powder not only makes your brownies more filling, but they also provide you with an extra portion of high-quality protein. This helps you keep your energy level stable and optimally support your muscle metabolism.

      Yes, just take a look at our exchange table. You can easily replace it with flour. But be careful: Then your protein brownies will become normal brownies and no longer contain any extra portion of protein.

      No, you can bake your protein brownies with our protein powder with a clear conscience. The proteins are not lost and you continue to benefit from the good properties of the protein powder. We even often recommend using our protein powder for baking to easily increase the protein content of a meal and meet your daily protein needs.

      Our brownies will keep airtight in the fridge for a few days!
