Healthy Brownie Batter (Protein Packed!)
Description
The Healthy Brownie Batter uses canned pumpkin and nut butter to create a moist base mixed with cocoa powder and a scoop of vanilla or chocolate protein powder, adding protein and depth. Sweetness comes from granular sweetener and sugar-free pancake syrup, balanced by vanilla extract and a touch of optional salt.
Prepared by blending all ingredients until thick and uniform, the batter is best chilled for at least an hour, allowing the flavors to develop further—overnight refrigeration is ideal. The resulting mixture is creamy and thick, suitable as a dip or spread.
Enjoy it paired with salty snacks like pretzels or use it as a topping on baked goods. The recipe suggests using vegan protein powder and replacing syrup with maple syrup for a vegan version, offering dietary flexibility.

Instructions
- Combine all the ingredients in a food processor (or mix with a hand mixer) until everything is incorporated and you have a thick batter.
