Coconut Fudge Vegan Brownies Recipe

If you’re someone who loves decadent brownies, but usually avoids making them because they're not the healthiest choice, then you’ll appreciate this twist on fudgy vegan brownies.

To boost the nutrient content of our brownies, and to make them have more staying power, we’ve added Ancient Nutrition’s Plant Protein+ to this health-focused vegan brownies recipe. The result is a rich, chocolatey flavor that you can enjoy guilt-free — since together these ingredients provide a winning combination of performance fats, protein, fiber and lots of taste.

Our unique plant-based protein powder is made from entirely recognizable, real whole foods — the same ones you'd use in your own kitchen, such as seeds, cocoa powder, vanilla extract and stevia. With zero grams of added sugar, no gritty texture and no bitter aftertaste, it’s a great addition to all your favorite sweet treats.

How to Make Vegan Brownies

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Then grease an 8 x 8 pan with coconut oil. Whisk two "flax eggs" in a bowl. Then mix in the almond flour, cocoa powder, one scoop of Plant Protein+ Chocolate, monk fruit and baking soda. Combine well together.

Add mixture to the pan, then even out the top with a spatula. Add optional toppings like dark chocolate chips, coconut flakes and/or walnuts.

Bake at 350 F for 15 to20 minutes. Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before cutting into squares.
