Notes
- You will have to physically portion and shape the brownies into the muffin tin. The batter is extremely thick(it doesn't pour). Make sure to really press the brownies into the mold so that they hold together once cooked.
- Almond butter will work for the protein brownies recipe. However, peanut butter gives the best flavor in my opinion.
- If you need to make them nut free though, opt for sunflower seed butter.
- Fun hack: pumpkin and sweet potato are pretty interchangeable. If you don’t have sweet potato, it’s fall and you want a pumpkin pie spice vibe, swap them!
- Make sure to cook the sweet potato fully so that it mashes easily. Sweet potato chunky brownies are not what we’re going for.
- Mini chocolate chips work best in healthy protein brownies. Mainly because then there's more to distribute into every bite.
- Make sure to let the brownies cool completely in the muffin tin, otherwise, they'll break when you take them out!
- You cannot use chocolate whey protein powder as well in this recipe. Vegan protein powder absorbs liquid which is why these two-bite brownies are flourless. Whey protein powder and collagen do not. You’d end up with a mushy mess.
- Sizing differences: they're best made in a silicone mold. A mini muffin tin makes them more "one bite" brownies and they're a bit denser (versus light and fudgy).
- If you make them with silicone molds there is about 18-22 brownies. In a mini muffin pan, there is more. The nutrition is based on a serving of two brownies (because no one eats just one!).
