Flavor & Texture
Making this high protein chocolate brownie bark with yogurt and peanut butter gives this brownie bark a creamy texture. Depending on the sweetness of your yogurt, you might need to add more sweetener. I used plain cashew yogurt and it was creamy and sweet enough for me. It will have a tangy flavor if you use Greek yogurt - even zero fat - if you don't need it to be dairy free.
Ingredients
Almond flour. Adds structure and protein. Oat flour can also be used instead, but not coconut flour.
Peanut butter. Any nut butter works and adds protein, healthy fats and a creamy texture to your brownie bark.
Yogurt. Use any yogurt - the higher the fat, the creamier your dough texture will be. You can use cashew yogurt, coconut yogurt or even Greek yogurt for my friends who can eat dairy. If you use a sweetened flavor, you may not need maple syrup so taste-test.
Cocoa. Use unsweetened powder cocoa, the best quality you can find. You can use dutch but regular is best for texture.
Maple syrup. Or any liquid sweetener.
Vanilla extract, baking soda, salt. For flavoring. I add the baking soda to give the dough an authentic brownie batter flavor but it is optional.
Chocolate chips. To add to the dough, and to melt for a chocolate shell on top.

- Pour the chocolate into the center of the chilled cookie dough, and spread it around with a spoon gently so it doesn't swirl in, just sits on top. Leave a bit of a border of cookie dough so the chocolate doesn't drip over the edge.

Notes
- Stir the batter well with a spoon to be sure all chunks of cocoa and flour are absorbed.
- Use fine almond flour and runny peanut butter for a smoother texture. And use a peanut butter that is made of only nuts, and runny.
- Adjust sweetness, adding more maple syrup if it is not. If you add more than a tablespoon, you'll have to add more flour or the batter might be too sticky.
