I’ve been trying to up my protein intake lately, because 1) I have a hard time meeting my daily requirements for it because we rarely have seafood at home for pescatarian me and 2) I’m trying to build muscle so I need to have more protein than the recommended amount to help retain it. Which also means, I’ve been experimenting with adding protein packed bakes. So that’s why I created these Protein brownies!
Typically I steer away from dairy but since my veggie protein is still getting shipped to me, I decided to use brother deer’s whey isolate for this Protein brownies recipe instead. Although, I have to admit that I’m not a huge fan of whey because I don’t like the taste/texture of it but it’ll have to do for now. I’ll probably update this post when I get my veggie protein in to let you all know how they turn out because different powders give off different textures when baked.
Ingredients
1 banana mashed
1/2 cup apple sauce
1/3 cup ground flax seeds
1/4 cup chia seeds
1 cup protein powder
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla
Bake away
1. Combine the ground flax seeds, chia seeds, protein powder and cocoa powder in a large bowl
2. Stir in the mashed banana, vanilla and apple sauce
3. Pour the batter into a 5″ x 8″ baking pan and bake at 350F f0r 25 – 30 minutes
Munch!

what did i do wrong.? My brownies never turned into a batter, not even close.
I’m sorry to hear that Patti. What type of protein powder did you use? sometimes variations in the percentage of whey to casein can play a role in how absorbent it is.
