With how much I love coffee and chocolate, of course I gotta combine the two! According to my dad, these were the best brownies I’ve made. Trust me, he would tell me if they were bad (he has told me that before haha!). Anyway, yes. Cappuccino chocolate chip protein brownies. Pretty much pure bliss if you ask me.

You may or may not know, but Ascent just came out with their cappuccino flavored casein protein. They already have a cappuccino whey, and now the casein! I love using casein when baking, especially in brownies, because it helps lend to a dense, more moist and fudgy texture of the brownie. Nothing better than a good fudgy brownie if you ask me.

I sort of followed one of my typical protein brownie recipes using black beans. Now, before you say “gross”, here me out. You don’t taste the black beans one bit. They add extra protein and fiber. And, it allows you to use absolute NO flour at all. So, if you are gluten intolerant, black bean brownies are perfect. Or, if you are just wanting something healthier, lower carb, and fiber packed, they are also perfect.

For the coffee flavor, of course I added the cappuccino casein protein. You can try whey if you’d like, but I wouldn’t recommend it. Whey tends to dry out more and bake much differently than casein protein. I also added a shot of espresso to give it even more of a coffee/cappuccino flavor. You can use decaf, or regular depending on how much caffeine you like! I know you guys will love these as much as I did!
