Epic Protein Brownies

Today is an epic day. I Jordan McHenry, slept in, made something for breakfast other than pancakes, and am actually posting on my blog. Insert Harry Potter quote* “Ive waited 13yrs” XD sorry if you feel this way waiting for me to get back onto my blog!

Anyway, I was just so shocked by how delicious, tender and mousslike this protein brownie was that I knew at once it was destined to be immortalized in internet recipe glory ( I also wanted to be able to find it easily to make again haha!)

Pros of this recipe: The ingredients are simple and easy to find, the macros absolutely rock, it tastes kinda like chilis molten lava cake base, wait seriously? Yes. Make this.

Ingredients Notes:

*I used a blend of Lean body for her chocolate and BPI chocolate cookie because I needed to finish them off, depending on the flavor quality of your chocolate protein this could affect the brownies flavor just saying, the lean body for her chocolate powder is one of the best tasting chocolate proteins I have ever had it just doesn’t have the best macros. It is also a whey/casein blend which in my experience bakes much better than pure whey proteins. Less drying.

*If you do not have a sf or non sugar free (too each its own) chocolate or mocha flavored syrup understand this: I use this syrup in place of water and for extra flavor, therefore, if you are going to sub it you must understand that a substitution must be a liquid and you will also need to up the sweetness somehow for the same flavor to occur. I suggest maybe using coffee and some extra chocolate stevia drops if available. J syrup from home goods for $4
