Ingredients

Brownie Batter Base

Chocolate Topping

Directions

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, FlavCity Brownie Batter Protein Smoothie, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until a thick, smooth batter forms.
Line a loaf pan or similarly sized container with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
Press the batter mixture evenly into the dish, smoothing the top with a spatula or your hands. Freeze for 5 minutes to firm up while you prepare the chocolate topping.
In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, melt the dark chocolate with the coconut oil, stirring until completely smooth.
Pour the melted chocolate over the chilled brownie batter base, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle flakey sea salt over the melted chocolate topping.
Return the dish to the freezer and chill for 45 minutes or until the chocolate is fully set.
Remove the bars from the dish using the parchment overhang. Place on a cutting board and cut into squares or rectangles.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for longer storage.

Note:

For a nut-free version, substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter.
If using FlavCity plant-based protein be sure to use two scoops.
Option to sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top to add more chocolate flavor before freezing.
