Protein- Packed Brownies!
These brownies are loaded with protein because of the almond butter and whey protein.
Ingredients
- 2 cups raw organic almond butter Smooth and unroasted is our preference! It's actually really easy to make your own!
- 2 eggs Organic Free Range Eggs
- 1/2 cup xylitol* OR stevia (amounts vary) I recommend xylitol derived from birch trees, rather than GMO corn. Stevia can also be used, to you preferred level of sweetness. With liquid stevia, start off with 1/2 teaspoons and add from there. If spoonable, start with a 1/8 cup, pure stevia, start with 1/4 teaspoon.
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 scoop Chocolate Protein Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt or pink himalayan salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup organic coconut milk from a can
- 1 cup Chocolate Baking Chips - Sweetened with Stevia We Use Lily's Dark Chocolate! :)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, blend almond butter with an electric blender until smooth. Blend in eggs, then sweetner and vanilla. Add in the rest of the ingredients.
- Line a 9"× 13" glass baking dish with parchment paper and pour batter into dish. You may need to press it into shape because it will be thick.
- Bake at 325°F for about 20-25mins or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Notes
*Some people experience abdominal discomfort when consuming too much xylitol.
This is a slightly altered version of a recipe we received from a Maxliving chiropractor we used to go to.
