For a richer flavor, use dark cocoa powder. Adjust the amount of sugar to your preferred level of sweetness. Consider using a sugar substitute for a lower-calorie option. Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Add chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or a swirl of peanut butter to customize your brownies. Be sure that the lentils are rinsed very well.

StepPreheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly coat an 8-inch square baking pan with cooking spray. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a blender or food processor, combine the drained and rinsed lentils with 3 tablespoons of water. Puree until completely smooth, adding more water if needed to achieve a paste-like consistency. (5 minutes)

StepTransfer the lentil paste to a large mixing bowl. Add the eggs, sugar, margarine, and vanilla extract. Mix well until combined. Gradually incorporate the cocoa powder and vanilla protein powder, stirring until the batter is thick and homogenous. Ensure there are no lumps. (10 minutes)
04
StepPour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. (2 minutes)
05
StepBake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs attached. (30 minutes)
