Lately I’ve been in a brownie kick. Made a cheesecake brownie (check recent post) that was pretty good. Then I made boo brownies. Twice. I’m just not a fan. To be fair I didn’t follow it to the tee. 60g and 120g of cocoa powder and sweetener respectively is way too much for me in a sitting. Even with some advice the brownies just came out really flat. So I’m trying to make own low cal high protein 8×8 brownie. 1st tried. If I’m being honest this was more chocolate cake than a brownie. Good but not the goal. Needed to take it out of the oven just a little earlier (baked for 20 mins). Slightly moist and chewy. Still need to work on it!

60g sweetener

Preheat oven 325F. Add all dry ingredients in a bowl and mix. Another bowl add wet ingredients and mix. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix. Pour into 8×8. For chocolate cake bake for 20 mins. For brownies? try 15-17mins. Once finish baking let it rest to firm up or eat hot.
