Notes

This banana protein brownie recipe can be prepared with any type of protein powder - for mine I used chocolate flavored soy protein. However, depending on your choice this recipe will require different quantities of milk: less for whey and more for casein or vegan protein powder.
As this recipe uses chocolate flavored protein powder in combination with bananas, there is no need for additional sweeteners. If using unflavored protein powder, instead, you may need to add a couple tablespoons of maple syrup or honey to your liking.
