Can you recommend an adapter capable of connecting 2 monitors via HDMI, a standard USB port, and my USB-C charger adapter. Does something like this exist?

Thanks!
 
You didn't state what kind of resolution you would like, or what speed USB, or what MacBook Pro you have.

Only Thunderbolt will let you connect two displays to a single port on a computer running macOS because macOS does not support MST.

A USB-C dock will let you connect one display at 4K 30Hz with 5 or 10 Gbps USB. A USB-C dock that supports 4K 60Hz will let you use USB 2.0 only. A Mac that supports DisplayPort 1.4 may be able to connect a higher res display (4K 60Hz) with some USB-C docks.

Can’t seem to find any. The HDMI adaptors I can find online all do not support pass through charging, so it might be a limitation with thunderbolt.

You might be better off using an adaptor to connect your monitors, and charging your laptop via a separate port.
 
Ahhh ok.. so it seems that i need a thunderbolt dock to support the 2 monitors and power.
