Chocolate Coffee Brownies
Kayla Castle • January 6, 2021
Healthy baking is one of my favorite things! Coffee riches the chocolate flavor, such a delicious combo. For the coffee flavor, I used coffee flavored protein powder. If you don’t have you can substitute a scoop of chocolate protein powder & 1 teaspoon espresso powder.
Recipe
Ingredients:
1 cup almond flour
1 scoop coffee protein powder
1/2 cup coconut sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 banana, mashed
1 egg
3 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup chocolate chips
Method:
- Preheat oven to 350F. Line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper.
- Combine all dry ingredients minus the chocolate chips in a medium sized bowl.
- Make a well with the dry ingredients and place all wet ingredients in middle.
- Using a rubber spatula, stir till mixture is combined.
- Lastly, add in chocolate chips. Then transfer to prepared dish using spatula to spread out.
- Bake for 25 minutes. Enjoy!
Do you find looking at nutrition labels to be confusing and overwhelming? There is a lot of information there, with lots of numbers that add to the confusion. Let’s break down the top things to look out for on a nutrition label:
You know when you eat something sweet and then later in the day you start feeling sluggish and tired? That sugar crash feeling is from a sharp rise in blood sugar levels followed by a decline. Having consistent blood sugar levels provides us with a consistent energy boost. By structuring our meals in a balanced pattern, you will be less likely to experience a “sugar crash”.
