Can you put collagen in baked goods?
This is actually my first time baking with collagen powder – I use protein powder in baked goods all the time – but yes, you can use collagen powder in baking and it works out just great! It’s a great way to make high protein desserts without protein powder.
These collagen protein brownies had the exact rich flavor and fudgy texture you expect from a normal brownie, but has so much extra protein and actual potential health benefits as well. Stronger nails and hair, even joints.
I’ve got a lot more collagen powder baking recipes to come!
Ingredients for Collagen Protein Brownies
These fudgy collagen chocolate protein brownies without protein powder are made with a few healthy ingredients, and have no eggs, no oil, no sugar and gluten free too; The perfect collagen dessert recipe!

- Unsweetened Cocoa Powder, or Raw Cacao Powder (HAYLSKITCHEN.15OFF to save on Kiva Cacao)
- Gluten Free (All Purpose) Baking Flour – or a regular all purpose flour
- 1:1 Zero Calorie Sugar Substitute – I use Lakanto, to keep this recipe sugar free; (code HAYLSKITCHEN for a discount here too)
- A bit of Coconut Flour
- Creamy Peanut Butter
- Non-fat Greek Yogurt contributes to the oil-free part of these high protein brownies since it adds the moisture, and also extra protein

- Almond Milk or regular milk

- Baking Soda
- Optionally Sugar free Chopped Chocolate or Chocolate Chips – I use sugar free ones from Lakanto here (HAYLSKITCHEN for a discount here as well). Lily’s is another sugar-free option!
How to make Collagen Powder Brownies with no Protein Powder?
This recipe for chocolate protein collagen brownies is extremely easy to make; just mix and bake!
Here’s what it takes:

- Whisk all the dry ingredients in bowl: collagen protein powder, cocoa powder, gluten free baking flour, coconut flour, zero calorie sweetener and baking soda.
- Whisk the wet ingredients in a large bowl: Peanut butter, almond milk Greek Yogurt, egg whites and vanilla.
- Add the dry mix to the wet and gently fold to combin; Be gentle
You should have a slightly runny batter. (Taste batter and add stevia powder if you want it sweeter).
- Transfer the no sugar protein brownie batter into pan, top with chocolate chips and bake for about 25-30 minutes.
How to know when collagen peptides peptides brownies are ready?
Baked collagen peptides protein brownies are ready when the top is completely set and dry, and a tester (toothpick or thin sharp knife) comes out mostly dry.
For extra fudgy collagen brownies, let some moisture be there on the tester – this should be at about 25 minutes.
Wait until cool!
Don’t cut too soon or they will be too soft.
Tip!
Use a plastic knife to cut the brownies; these collagen protein brownies are quite fudgy and will stick to a metal knife when cutting.

For the perfect fudgy and moist protein collagen powder brownies, I would highly suggest using the ingredients and brands I recommended; I do have some alternatives you can try. I haven’t testing them all, so I can’t say how your recipe might turn o

Since when do you need to purchase a recipe for $5.99. One single recipe and why are you charging ?
I initially had this recipe available for free but turned it into a exclusive purchase-only recipe (similar to how one would buy a cookbook). A lot of people have loved this and trust me you wouldn’t regret the purchase.
When I say these brownies are the bomb I am not kidding. Ordered a batch from her and I’m telling y’all I have not had better brownies. Literally had to physically distance myself from them so I don’t finish them in one sitting.
They are PERFECT PERIOD!
These brownies really can be addictive! Definitely have a hard time not baking myself a batch every order, haha.
Hope you run through them soon enough and want more ;D
Hey hey! I’m intrigued by the many positive reviews! I see ingredients listed and no amounts??
Hey Kaci! I actually took of the quantities since these brownies are exclusively for purchase only. I’d be happy to ship you some. Just let me know 🙂
Why do you have it as a recipe then? It’s so frustrating … I got all the ingredients together to make this. I’m trying to make my mom low author , keto deserts because of her dementia.
🙁 such a bummer and a bit misleading.

This brownie is the BOMB! I tried lots of brownies on my life and I am very picky when comes about my food and what I put in my body, so this brownie gets a 5 star review from me from every single point of view. They are beyond delicious, good ingredients, easy on my stomach, and healthy! Bonus, if you don’t have to make them or just don’t feel like it, definitely order them from Haylee like I did. The delivery was quick and they were so so good. I actually ordered a few things from her (the Better than sex case, protein cookies) and I couldn’t be happier with everything I got. It was so good that the last pieces left, my husband was trying to hide them from me and I was trying to hide it from him :))) Ok, one last thing…I love the ingredients detailed list and macros that comes with every recipe!
I’m SO stoked that you (and your husband, haha) both loved them. I can totally see myself wanting to hide them from my husband too 😛
The rich chocolate flavor is exactly what got me hooked.
Can’t wait to bake you more stuffs 🙂
This recipe was great, I loved the brownies. One thing though, collagen is awesome, but doesn’t actually count towards your protein intake. It misses an essential amino acid so its an incomplete protein. It’s great for skin, nails, and hair though!
I’m so glad you loved this Chloe! It really is my favorite brownie recipe!
You do make a good point there. I should probably add a note about the protein intake part. Thanks.
Did you purchase the recipe? She emailed me asking for $5 for it. This is all really strange. How is everyone leaving comments about how great they turned out without measurements?

Can’t wait to try these, cause I don’t have too many collagen powder recipes yet. Do you think I can replace the sugar substitute with honey, and if so, how much do you think I can use?
Hi Shifra! I’m so so excited you want to try this recipe out. The texture really is unbeatable!
I haven’t tried subbing out the sugar substitute with Honey, so I can’t say how it will work.
The batter texture is quite gooey as it is, and I’m afraid honey might not work as well here (especially since we need a whole 2/3 cup worth).
You could find Lakanto or Swerve sweetener at a lot of grocery stores if you’re open to buying it.
Coconut sugar would work in place too!
I’d love to know what you think if you try it!
Such a good recipe. incredibly fudge and the macros are out of this world,
Thank you so so much Nadine! These really are my fudgiest and most favorite brownies!
I think I made this recipe or a very similar one with almond flour instead of the regular flour and wowza! After letting them cool (completely, like put them in the freezing cold garage for a bit) they were so dense and fudgey. Very addicting and so filling. Can anyone else vouch for almond flour substitute for this?
Oh!! I’d love to know how this one works out with almond flour instead of regular; I would have thought it would need extra egg or something of that sort. Super curious!
These are so fudgey and goey-just like my favorite type of brownie. Not dry nor too cakey like some no sugar protein brownies. These are perfect and even heated up they’re delicious and fudgey. I cooked mine in my toasted oven for 18lbs minutes which yielded the perfect texture once cooled.
Absolutely! the proper fudgy and gooey (non-cakey) brownie is what I was going for here too.
I’m so happy the toaster oven worked out for you too!
So hard to believe that these are low calorie AND high protein. I was skeptical when I first made them but now I squeeze them into my meal prep every week. These are the best brownies I have ever made. Thank you for the recipe!
You’re most welcome Hope! I’m so so happy you actually trusted it and gave it a go. They really my #1 as well!
Can we replace the coconut flour with another flour?
Hi Rimi! I would really recommend the coconut flour here since it works very different in baking as compared to other flours. It’s a lot more absorbent!
If you’re not able to get some, I would say try 1/2 cup or 2/3 cup of Oat flour instead.
I’d love to know how it goes if you try it out.
Thank you Jane. I tried it with 1/2 cup of oat flour and it turned out well. Another question, can I use regular yogurt instead of greek yogurt?
Yay! That’s so great to here Rimi! Thanks for following up!
Instead of Greek yogurt, you could try coconut yogurt. I don’t think regular would work here.
This is hands down my favorite recipe (so far). These do not taste like there is ANYTHING high protein about them. I have made multiple batches of these and they are so delicious, my whole family eats them. They love the gooey texture and brownie batter flavor. Most of my protein treats, I do not have to worry about sharing. These are a huge exception, I even made one batch in secret to freeze the leftovers!
Oh Amber, this is hands down my favorite brownie recipe as well! We really are meant to be friends!
And definitely so ‘protein baked good’ taste here; Just the fudgy brownie with rich chocolate flavor.
I’d find it hard to share too. Hope you find some more recipes on here you love as well!
These are, hands down, the best protein brownies I’ve ever tried in my life. I am a brownie gourmand and it’s the first recipe I look for and try on blogs and in cookbooks. I have never had a better “alternative” brownie in all my years of searching. So rich, so chocolatey, and yes, so fudgy. Thank you thank you thank for this recipe. I could go on and on! I bought collagen specifically for this recipe and it was the best $18 I ever spent. I’m making the cookie bars next!
You just made my day – no, week and month! I’m right there with you and the love for brownies, and this is also hands down my #1 brownie recipe.
I really wouldn’t be able to describe the softness and richness is either. Just reading your comment brought back memories of this recipe, and I think I’m going to bake a variation of it this week!
You know how much I looooove brownies… and these are just soooo soft and fudgy – you could never tell, they are not „the real thing“. I used crunchy peanutbutter and loved the texture… making these again soon! thank you for all the effort you put into developing these recipes!!
Yesss! Brownies are without a doubt my favorite baked good as well; All that rich and dark chocolate flavor. And I’m especially excited you loved this one because it is definitely my most favorite brownie recipe (yet)! That crunchy peanut butter really sounds like a good texture contrast, I might give it a go next time.
And you’re most welcome!
I just tried these after literally running to the store to get coconut flour and gosh am I happy I ran! These brownies are so incredibly fudgy (I took mine out after 25 minutes) and taste incredible, while having awesome macros! Will definitely make again 🙂
Oh my gosh Nina, your comment might just have made my entire week! I’m so so happy you grabbed that coconut flour and gave these brownies a try as well 🙂 And even more that you liked them! That 25 minute is my sweet spot as well 😉
