Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1 cup protein powder (choose your favorite flavor)
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup sweetener of choice (e.g., honey, maple syrup, or a sugar substitute) Choose according to your dietary preference.
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup melted coconut oil
  • 2 eggs eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
Add-ins
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (ensure they are halal-friendly)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking dish (approximately 9×9 inches) with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: almond flour, protein powder, cocoa powder, sweetener, baking soda, and salt. Whisk them together until well blended.
  3. In another bowl, melt the coconut oil and let it cool slightly. Add the eggs and vanilla extract. Whisk until everything is combined.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Don’t overmix; a few lumps are okay!
  5. Gently fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Baking
  1. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges look firm and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  2. Let the brookies cool completely in the dish before lifting them out using the parchment. Cut into squares and enjoy!

Notes

Substitutions: If almond flour isn’t your thing, feel free to use oat flour or a gluten-free blend. Timing: Keep an eye on your brookies during baking. Every oven is different; keep checking after 20 minutes for that perfect chewy texture. Common Mistakes: Avoid overmixing when combining ingredients as it can result in dense brookies.
