Plant protein powders such as pea, rice, and hemp are all the rage these days. They're hypoallergenic, usually non-GMO, often organic, and absolutely wonderful to cook with. You can use them to make homemade protein bars, pizza crusts, cheesecakes, cookies, and yes, even brownies!
These protein brownies were made without eggs, without butter, and without cow's milk! They're gluten-free, high in protein and fiber, and packed with antioxidants. They're also absolutely amazingly soft and chocolaty—just as a brownie should be.
Best of all, they're a welcome treat no matter the time of day. Enjoy a fudgy square alongside a cup of coffee before hitting the gym, with tea as a midafternoon pick-me-up. or dunked in a tall glass of milk before bed.
Looking for something a little more decadent? Warm one up and pair it with a scoop of vanilla protein ice cream for that extra oomph factor. If you ask me, it's the perfect dessert.
