Protein Desserts | 14 High-Protein Dessert Recipes To Dig Into ASAP

Can’t stop those sweet-tooth cravings? We’ve got 14 delicious high-protein desserts to satisfy that, and then some.

Let’s face it, sometimes you just can’t keep out of the kitchen until you’ve had your dessert fix for the day. It doesn’t even have to be anything elaborate, just a bite-sized sweet treat to seal the deal will do.

Well, lucky for you, we’ve got you covered with this mouth-watering lot. From simple 1-minute mug cakes to sweet potato brownie (here us out). Get stuck straight into the recipes here.

Plus, we've got plenty of desserts packed with protein to give you a little extra boost towards your daily goal. We've given our recommendation, but you can switch out the protein for your go-to.

And, if you like to opt for a batch cooking approach to your sweet treats, make sure you're stocked up on air-tight containers.

We’ve got something to hit the spot whether you’re after an instant hit or have a bit more time on your hands.

1. Sweet potato brownies

Our secret weapon for gooey brownies, sweet potatoes. Now, don’t judge. They’re not a classic brownie ingredient, but if you’re after gooey, they’re a must-include. Since they’re full of natural sweetness and moisture, they’re the perfect inclusion for keeping your brownies thick and gooey.
