Get ready for a stack-meets-fudge takeover! These Protein Brownie Bars are what happens when fluffy breakfast vibes and rich chocolate collide in the most unapologetic way. Dense, chocolatey, and secretly packed with protein, they deliver that brownie-level indulgence with a pancake-powered glow-up. Each bar is soft, satisfying, and just sweet enough to feel like a treat while still pulling its nutritional weight. Perfect for grab-and-go fuel, post-workout rewards, or “is this breakfast or dessert?” moments- because the answer is “yes!”

Ingredients

  • 1 cup of PowKakes Chocolate Chip Protein Pancake & Waffle Mix

  • 1/4 cup of cocoa powder

  • 1/2 cup of milk (any kind: dairy, almond, oat, etc.)

  • 2-3 tbsp of maple syrup or honey (for sweetness)

  • 1-2 tbsp of melted butter or oil (for extra fudginess)

  • *Optional: 1 large egg (recommended)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  • Lightly grease or line an 8×8‑inch square pan.

  • In a bowl, whisk together the Chocolate Chip Protein Pancake & Waffle Mix with the cocoa powder

  • Add your cup of milk and your large egg

  • Mix in the sweetener and melted butter/oil until smooth

  • Pour the batter into the pan and spread it evenly

  • Bake for 14–18 minutes, depending on your oven

  • The bars should be set on top, but still soft in the center

  • Cool for 10 minutes, then slice the Protein Brownie Bars into squares
