Chocolate Protein Brownie Bread (Double Chocolate)

If you’re looking for a chocolatey, high-protein treat that tastes like a cross between a rich brownie and a soft loaf of chocolate bread, this double chocolate protein brownie bread is exactly what you need. It’s packed with protein, ultra moist and filled with melty chocolate chips in every bite. A chocolate lover’s dream, it’s deep, rich and perfectly sweet while still being balanced enough for breakfast, a snack, or dessert. 

3 large eggs
½ cup plain Greek yogurt
⅓ cup pure maple syrup or honey
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
¼ cup coconut oil or avocado oil, melted
¾ cup almond flour
½ cup chocolate whey protein powder
¼ cup cocoa powder 
1 tsp. baking powder
¼ tsp. baking soda
¼ tsp. sea salt
½ cup chocolate chips

Preheat an oven to 350°F (180°C/160°C fan, Gas Mark 4) and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla and melted coconut oil.

Add in almond flour, chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips, then pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.

Bake for 42-45 minutes or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted comes out with just a few moist crumbs. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Makes 7 servings.
