Ingredients
- 1 cup protein powder (whey or plant-based)
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ cup almond flour or oat flour

- 2 tbsp nut butter (peanut or almond)

- In one bowl, mix dry ingredients: protein powder, cocoa, flour, espresso, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk eggs, milk, sweetener, nut butter, and vanilla until smooth.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients gently. Do not overmix—aim for fudgy texture.

- Bake for 10–12 minutes, until set but still moist.
- Cool before removing from tin. Serve plain or drizzle with melted dark chocolate.
Notes
- Storage: Keep in airtight container for 3–4 days or freeze up to 2 months.

- Variations: Try peanut butter swirl, mint chocolate, or pumpkin spice for seasonal flair.
- Tip: Slightly underbake for maximum fudginess—protein treats dry quickly.
