How To Make Chocolate Fluffernutter Brownies

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F.

Add the yellow plantain, cocoa powder, chocolate protein powder, liquid egg whites, and baking powder to a blender. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.

Pour the brownie batter into a prepared loaf pan and spread it into an even layer.

Next, make the peanut butter swirl. Combine the peanut powder and water in a small bowl and stir until smooth and creamy.

Drizzle the peanut butter mixture over the brownie batter. Use a knife or toothpick to gently swirl the peanut butter throughout the chocolate batter.

Tips For The Best Protein Brownies

Use a ripe plantain. A yellow, ripe plantain will provide more natural sweetness and blend more easily into the batter.

Don’t overbake. For soft and fudgy brownies, keep a close eye on them toward the end of the baking time. They should be set but still soft in the center.

Let them cool before slicing. Giving the brownies a few minutes to cool allows them to firm up slightly while keeping that delicious fudgy texture.

Swirl, don’t fully mix. When adding the peanut butter mixture, gently swirl it through the batter so you get distinct ribbons of peanut butter in every bite.

Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for short-term storage or refrigerate them for longer freshness.

If refrigerated, allow the brownies to come closer to room temperature before serving, or warm them briefly in the microwave to bring back that soft, gooey texture.
