Protein Brownies
Soft, fluffy, and a little bit crunchy - with an extra dose of protein.
For better or worse, I am not a brownie girlie. So when I tell you that these are GOOD, you can go ahead and believe me.
Free of gluten which leaves me feeling sluggish but with an extra dose of protein because, obviously.
You can store them at any temperature you prefer. The flavor and texture profile differs based on where you store them - my husband proclaims they’re best straight out of the freezer…
I’d be thrilled if you could tell him you thought otherwise ;-)
