    Zubereitung

    1
    Soak the dates in hot water for about 10 minutes.
    2
    Preheat your oven to 180 degrees conventional heat.
    3
    Add all the ingredients to a blender and blend until you have a thick, smooth batter. Make sure your dates don't contain pits, or remove them before soaking - your blender will thank you.
    4
    Line a baking pan with parchment paper, add 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 in the oven at 180 degrees for about 30 minutes.
    Important: The brownies should still feel soft at this point. They will firm up over time. So don't bake them for too long, otherwise they'll turn more into a chocolate cake.


    Recipe Note

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

    About this recipe

    Our protein powder: Vetain's Vegan Protein Cocoa

    May I introduce you? Vetain's Vegan Protein Cocoa - the clean protein powder at a glance:

    • High-quality multi-component protein

    • With organic ingredients

    • Delicious, natural taste from natural flavors

    • Free from gluten and lactose, artificial additives & sucralose

    • High quality: produced in Germany under strict standards and laboratory-tested

    • Super delicious: high-quality cocoa powder and natural cocoa flavor provide an intense, natural taste

    We may be a little biased, but for us, Vetain protein powder is the ideal ingredient in protein brownies. Not only does it taste delicious, but it also supplies your body with high-quality protein that takes your brownies to the next level!

    Substitution table

    How often do we want to make a recipe again, only to find that we are missing certain ingredients or do not like individual components? For this case, we have created an ingredient substitution table for you, so that you can adapt the protein brownie recipe to your liking! Simply replace individual ingredients as you wish!

    • kidney beans → black beans, chickpeas (add a little more liquid here)

    • dates → very ripe bananas, applesauce

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

    • Cashew butter → almond butter, peanut butter

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

    • Raw cocoa → regular cocoa powder

    • Cream of tartar baking powder → regular baking powder

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


    *Raw cocoa differs from baking cocoa in its nutrient content. Unlike baking cocoa, raw cocoa is gently processed, 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!
