Try this vegan protein brownie recipe with a scoop of your Mother Earth Labs’ Organic Veggie Protein.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 Scoop of Mother Earth Labs’ Organic Veggie Protein (Chocolate or Vanilla)
- 1/2 cup of cacao powder (or cocoa powder)
- 1 tsp of vanilla extract
- 2 medium bananas (yellow because they are softer and easier to mix)

- 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce
- 1/4 tsp Himalayan sea salt
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat your oven to 350° F.
- While oven is preheating, lightly coat an 8-inch square baking pan with cooking spray and begin making the batter
- For the batter, mash the bananas with a fork in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Add remaining ingredients and mix until completely blended. Batter will be thick. Spread the batter evenly into the baking pan.
- Top with extra chocolate chips, if desired.
- Place pan on center rack of oven and bake for 20 minutes. Check center with a toothpick or fork to make sure batter is cooked through. If the toothpick doesn’t come out clean, cook for another 5 minutes.
- Allow brownies to cool for 15 minutes before cutting.
- Enjoy a delicious protein-packed chocolate treat!
