I’m a very indecisive person. When given options, I can’t make decisions quickly.

  • 1/3 cup (30 g) coconut flour

  • ¼ cup + 1/8 cup milk of choice
  • 3 Tbsp butter**
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line or grease a 8”x 8” square baking pan.
  2. For the cookies: In a small bowl, combine the flaxseed meal and water for the “flax egg”. Set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the protein powder, flour, sugar, and salt.
  4. If needed, melt the coconut oil in a small, heat safe bowl in the preheating oven until liquid form.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine the applesauce, milk, oil, water, and extract.
  6. Add in the “flax egg”. Stir to combine.
  7. In the small bowl, combine the baking soda and lemon juice and stir. Add the bubbling mixture to the wet ingredients.
  8. Add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir together until fully incorporated.
  9. Set aside in the refrigerator.
  10. For the brownies: In a large bowl, whisk together the protein powders, flours, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  11. Cream together the yogurt, milk, and butter.
  12. Stir in the water, juice, and extract.
  13. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until fully combined.
  14. Pour into the prepared 8”x8” pan and spread dough out to fill the pan.
  15. Bake in preheated oven for 5 minutes.
  16. While the brownies are baking, take the cookie dough out of the refrigerator and fold in the chocolate chips.
  17. Once brownies are baked for the 5 minutes, remove them from the oven.
  18. Lower the oven temperature to 325 F.
  19. Pour the cookie dough onto the brownies, spread it out evenly, and immediately return to the oven. (You can add some swirls using a toothpick, too, if you want to make it look fancy 😉 )
  20. Bake for another 18-20 minutes, or until the edges of the cookie dough are a light golden brown.
  21. Let the “brookies” cool completely in the pan, as this will help finish cooking them without them getting too dry.
  22. Slice these goodies up, and you’re ready to eat!

  1. I'm definitely trying these tonight! I just stumbled across your blog from Pinterest and I swear Im on my lunch at work right now binge reading all your posts!
    1. Thanks, Ariel!! These are def one of my favorites! Hope you enjoy the "brookies" and had fun binge reading ;)
      1. Does it supposed to be gooey after baking it?
        1. Yes, it's a pretty gooey recipe, but not so much that it doesn't stick together :)
  2. Wow this looks amazing!! We are definitely trying these! Is there anything you can recommend to replace the protein powders with? It usually doesn't sit well with me. Thanks!
    1. Thanks, Lainey!! You could try subbing the protein powders with oat flour. They're similar consistencies so it should work fine. I hope you like them!! :)
  3. What is the nutritional information for the brownies? Found this recipe by searching low carb and high protein brownies. Is this information available?
    1. Hi Marissa! Sorry, I don't calculate the nutrition info for my recipes. But you can plug the ingredients into a food tracker app to get it - I really like myfitnesspal.com because they are usually pretty accurate.
  4. Hello Kaylie, I would like to try this recipe as a snack for my daughter, but I don't want to use Soy or oat flour. Could I just use whey protein powder? And is there something I could sub in for the oat flour? Any suggestions?
    1. Hey Amy! I wouldn't recommend using only whey since that'll give it a really gummy texture. I haven't tried subbing out the oat and soy so I can't guarantee anything else will work, but if you're up for experimenting I'd try starting off with a gluten free flour blend. Good luck! :)
  5. Hello Kaylie. Can I sub flaxmeal and water with an egg? Also I only have whey protein powder, can I use that instead of soy protein? Thanks.
    1. Hey Gina! You can definitely sub the flax egg for a regular egg. But I wouldn't use only whey protein powder since that'll give you a really gummy texture. Hope that helps!
  6. Hi, I read in another comment that you could sub the protein powders with oat flour. Is there a substitute for the coconut flour or no? I would prefer not to use it because we're running low, but if there's no good substitute I can.
    1. Hey there! Unfortunately since coconut flour is really absorbent, there's not a great sub for it. Happy baking!
