After the success of our Zucchini Brownies and Cauliflower Brownies, we decided to make another healthy twist on this popular chocolate specialty. So here are our high protein hemp brownies, wonderfully fluffy and packed with plant-based goodness.
In our recipe, we made the brownie batter with mixed dates and black beans. Then we added peanut butter, chia egg, cocoa, oat milk and topped it off with hemp seeds and melted dark chocolate. The result is moist and gooey brownies, sure to become your new favourite! They are vegan, gluten free and sugar freepacked with lots of vegetable proteins.
For our brownies healthy, allergy-friendly and vegan, we started from the classic recipe and made a few changes. Additionally, we designed this recipe to be as high in protein as possible without using protein powder, just healthy ingredients. Here’s what we used:
-
Black beans – We substituted flour and melted butter for blended black beans, which also add lots of protein.
-
Events – We used soaked and blended dates to replace white sugar and add volume to the brownie batter.
-
Chia seeds – we soaked them in water to make a vegan “chia egg”.
-
peanut butter – We used it to bind the ingredients and also add proteins.
-
hemp seeds – We’ve added Hulled Hemp Seeds for a boost of complete plant-based proteins.
-
Dark Chocolate 85% – We replaced 50% chocolate with a darker type of chocolate to keep the sugar as low as possible.
