Healthy, high protein, cream cheese, stuffed Brookies
Serves 1
Directions
- 1Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8 by 8 inch pan with parchment paper.
- 2Make the brownie batter by mashing the banana and whisking in the eggs, Greek yogurt, and maple syrup. Stir in cocoa powder, almond flour, and baking powder until smooth.
- 3Make the protein cream cheese filling by beating the cream cheese and Greek yogurt until smooth, then adding the protein powder and maple syrup and whipping until light and creamy.
- 4Make the cookie batter by whisking the eggs and maple syrup in a separate bowl, then folding in almond flour, baking powder, vanilla, and chocolate chips.
- 5Assemble the bars by dropping alternating spoonfuls of brownie and cookie batter into the pan and spreading to create a marbled base, then spreading the cream cheese mixture evenly over, and finally topping with the remaining brownie and cookie batter.
- 6Bake for 28 to 32 minutes, until the top is set and a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs but no raw batter.
- 7Cool completely before slicing for clean layers and the best texture.

Tips
- These slice best once fully cooled.
- If you rush cooling, the layers will smear.
- You can chill the bars before slicing if you want ultra-clean edges.
- These keep well in the fridge and are even better the next day once the layers fully settle.
