Best Vegan Protein Powder Desserts
We all love a dessert, and vegan desserts are actually some of the best. If you are after a sweet treat that still packs a protein punch these are three of the best vegan protein powder dessert recipes out there.
Berry Brownies
For these brownies you can use any kinds of berries – I like to use mixed berries for variety. You will need:
2 cups flour
1 cup pitted dates
½ cup cocoa or cacao powder
1 cup chocolate vegan protein powder
¼ cup melted coconut oil
¼ cup maple syrup
1 cup frozen berries
1 flax egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tbsp water)
1 ¼ cup almond milk
1 cup fresh berries
¾ cup dark chocolate
Preheat your oven to 180 degrees and line a baking dish with baking parchment. Mix together the dates, maple syrup, coconut oil, ¾ cup almond milk and frozen berries in a foods processor. Combine this mixture with the remaining almond milk, cocoa or cacao powder, flour, flax egg and protein powder, and mix until smooth. Pour into your lined dish and bake for 20 minutes, then cool for 20 minutes. Top with fresh berries and melted dark chocolate, then refrigerate until the chocolate has set.
Chocolate Nut Butter Donuts
This is one of the best vegan protein powder desserts to make as a treat.
For the donut:
½ cup flour
1/3 cup cocoa powder
¼ cup chocolate vegan protein powder
2 tbsp flaxseed
½ tsp baking soda
½ cup warm water
½ cup maple syrup
¼ cup olive oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
For the glaze:
½ cup icing sugar
2 tbsp nut butter
2 tbsp chocolate vegan protein powder
2 tbsp plant-based milk
Preheat your oven to 190 degrees and grease a donut pan. Combine the dry ingredients (flour, cocoa powder, protein powder, flaxseed, baking soda) in a mixing bowl. Separately combine the liquid ingredients (water, maple syrup, vanilla extract). Mix together the wet and dry ingredients until you have a smooth batter, then pour into your donut moulds. Cook for 8-10 minutes – once they are done a cocktail stick will come out clean. Leave to cool while you make your glaze.
Put all of the ingredients (icing sugar, nut butter, protein powder, milk) into a good processor and process until smooth. Then drizzle over or dip donuts into the glaze, and decorate as you wish.
Chocolate Chia Pudding
This pudding is one of the quickest and best vegan protein powder desserts to make as a quick snack. You will need:
¼ cup chia seeds
1 cup almond milk
1 tbsp chocolate vegan protein powder
1/6 cup maple syrup
½ tsp cinnamon
½ tbsp nut butter
1/3 cup cacao or cocoa powder
½ tsp vanilla extract
Combine all of the ingredients in a blender until smooth and pour into bowls (this recipe should make 2). Leave in the fridge to set for at least 10 minutes. Once the pudding has set top with berries, granola, nuts, seeds (whatever you fancy) and enjoy.
