A delicious brownie that tastes like a decadent treat, but made with better for you ingredients!
As well as using ingredients like oats, nut/seed butters, I also love using protein powder in desserts to improve the nutrient content and make it healthier. It’s also an easy way to add extra flavour and sweetness without adding extra sugar.
This protein vegan skillet is the perfect comforting dessert to warm you up on cold days. There’s nothing more comforting than a warm, gooey, chocolatey treat to lift your mood when the weather is getting you down and you’re in desperate need for some cheering up.
It’s also perfect for sharing. I’d say it serves 4 people, but of course depending on your appetite, you may want to eat less than that. I wouldn’t recommend eating more though, because at the end of the day, it’s still a dessert!

The great thing about making a skillet brownie that’s designed to be enjoyed with a spoon is that you don’t have to worry too much about the texture. What I mean by that is you don’t have to worry about them holding shape when slicing them. Something that can be tricky when making egg-free, especially healthier, treats.
As well as being vegan, this protein brownie skillet can easily be made gluten-free by using gluten-free oats. It’s also nut-free, dairy-free and egg-free – so it’s a great option if you’re looking to make something for someone with allergies/intolerances.

- Decadent
- Has an amazing fudgy texture
- So chocolatey
- Made using healthier ingredients

- Perfect for sharing
- Vegan
