Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350℉ and line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving some hanging over the sides to use as a handle. This will make getting the brownies out of the pan easier.
In a medium bowl, using an electric hand mixer, beat together 5 tablespoons of the coconut oil, reserving the rest for later, along with the erythritol, egg, egg yolks, and mint extract for 1 minute. The mixture should turn a pale yellow.
Place 4 ounces of the chocolate in a medium, microwave-safe bowl, along with the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted oil. Cook on half power, using 30-second intervals, and stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is smooth and melted.
While beating, pour the melted chocolate into the egg mixture until thick and well combined.
Add the protein powder, baking soda, and salt, and stir until well combined. Then, vigorously whisk in the almond milk until the batter smooths out a little bit.
Finely chop the remaining 1 ounce of chocolate (think the size of mini chocolate chips or a bit smaller) and stir into the batter.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan and bake until the edges just begin to darken, the center rises a little, and an toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 20-21 minutes. Do NOT overbake!
Let cool in the pan for 20 minutes, and then gently use the parchment paper to lift the brownies onto a wire rack to cool COMPLETELY.
Once cooled, slice and DEVOUR!
