A festive treat with a healthy twist - these Christmas tree protein brownies are the perfect healthier treat if you're looking for something tasty, but not overly indulgent. They're no-bake, easy to make and taste so good. Each brownie offers 10g of protein!
Mix the peanut butter, maple syrup and milk in a large bowl.
Add the protein powder and cocoa and mix to form a smooth dough.
Roll out between two pieces of baking paper to your preferred thickness. Use a Christmas tree cookie cutter to cut out Christmas tree shapes. Freeze for 30-60 minutes
Break up the dark chocolate into a heat-proof bowl and add the coconut oil. Melt in the microwave, then drizzle on top of the chilled brownies ensuring the sides are covered.
Freeze again for around 10 minutes or until the chocolate is set.
