collagen-brownie recipe

Everyone loves a brownie but the sugar and lack of protein? Not so much. Here you have one of the best proteins (collagen), and it doesn’t interfere with the sublime taste and fudgy texture.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup butter or coconut oil
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup almond butter
  • 1 cup gluten-free flour
  • ½ cup cacao
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 4 scoops Ancient Nutrition's Multi Collagen Protein
  • ½ cup dark chocolate chips, optional

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Melt the butter or coconut oil over low heat or in the microwave. Pour it into a mixing bowl, then whisk in the maple syrup, eggs, vanilla extract and almond butter until smooth.
  3. Add the gluten-free flour, cacao powder and collagen peptides. Stir just until combined, being careful not to overmix.
  4. If using chocolate chips, gently fold them into the batter.
  5. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared baking dish and bake for 20–25 minutes, until the center is set but still soft for a fudgy texture.
  6. Let the brownies cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then slice into squares and enjoy.
