I wanted to have brownies, something that tasted like dessert but wouldn’t kill me with sugars and throw me into a carbohydrate coma. What I got was a dark chocolate protein power-packed, light, fluffy, brownie that could be a meal.

I started with this recipe (don’t make these):

Regular Brownies

4 Eggs

½ teaspoon Baking Powder

2/3 Cup Cocoa Powder

1 Cup Flour

½ teaspoon Salt

2 Cups Sugar

1 teaspoon Vanilla

1 Cup Butter

Bake at 350 for 35 minutes in 9×12 Pan

Then I tweaked it for the following:

I wanted dark chocolate, not milk chocolate.

I wanted to use coconut flour instead of wheat.

I wanted it to be sugar-free.

I wanted it to have just as much protein as a protein bar.

I wanted it to be very low in net carbohydrates (carbs – fiber).

Power Brownies

8 Eggs

½ teaspoon Baking Powder

2/3 Cup Hershey’s Special Dark Cocoa Powder

1/3 Cup Coconut Flour

½ teaspoon Salt

2 Cups Stevia Powder

1 teaspoon Vanilla

½ Cup Textured vegetable Protein

1/2 Cup Butter (for a fudgey brownie, add another ½ Cup Butter)

(Top with unsweeteded coconut flakes)

Bake at 350 for 25 minutes in 9×12 Pan

Serves 8 (11g Protein, 2.5g Net Carbohydrates per serving)
