Ingredients in this healthy protein brownie batter

To make this dairy-free protein brownie batter, we'll be using a set of 7 ingredients, plus toppings.

• Oat flour: Start with ½ cup of oat flour. This is going to contribute a great flavor while making the batter perfectly thick!
• Chocolate protein powder: Then, add protein with 1 scoop of chocolate protein powder. If you have vanilla, that works too.
• Cocoa powder: Add to the chocolate taste by including 2 tablespoon of cocoa powder.
• Salt: Then, throw in a pinch of salt. This one is important!
• Almond milk: Use ½ cup of almond milk to help the batter reach the correct consistency.
• Honey: Then, sweeten things up with 1 tablespoon of honey. For a vegan batter, use maple syrup instead.
• Vanilla extract: Then, finish off the main part of the batter with 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
• Toppings: Chocolate chips and flakey sea salt make the perfect toppings!
• For dipping: Use your favorite graham crackers and pretzels for dipping.
