- 2/3 cup almond butter (or allergy-friendly sub)
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder

- 3 tbsp chocolate protein powder or additional cocoa powder
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon
Instructions

- Add the cocoa powder, chocolate protein powder or additional cocoa powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon.
- Mix until all ingredients are incorporated and the batter is thick and evenly chocolate-colored.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake until the edges are set and the center is cooked through. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs. The original baking temperature and time were not provided.
