Bake once, snack all week, and enjoy a dessert that works as hard as you do.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup natural peanut butter
- ⅓ cup pure maple syrup
- 2 large eggs
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 scoop lactose-free vanilla protein powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup dairy-free dark chocolate chips
Optional:
-
flaky sea salt for topping
Materials needed:
- 8x8-inch baking pan
- Parchment paper
- Mixing bowl
- Whisk or hand mixer
- Spatula
- Measuring cups and spoons
How to Make It:
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line your baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
-
In a mixing bowl, whisk together peanut butter, maple syrup, and eggs until smooth. The mixture should look thick and creamy.
-
Stir in protein powder, baking soda, and salt until fully combined. Fold in the dairy-free chocolate chips.
-
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan using a spatula. Sprinkle flaky salt on top if you like that sweet and salty combo.
-
Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, until the center is set but still soft. Do not overbake.
-
Let them cool completely before slicing into 9 squares. This helps them firm up and keeps the texture chewy.
Build Muscle Without the Sugar Crash
These high-protein peanut butter blondies give you around 10 to 12 grams of protein per square, depending on your protein powder. They support muscle recovery, stabilize blood sugar, and satisfy sweet cravings without gluten, lactose, or gut drama.
Stop settling for dry protein bars that taste like cardboard. Bake these, meal prep them for the week, and keep a square ready after workouts or busy days.
