Chef's Tips

For extra fudgy brownies, slightly underbake them.

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

You can add chopped nuts or other mix-ins to the batter.

If using a different protein powder, you may need to adjust the amount of liquid.

For a vegan option, replace the egg with a flax egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 3 tbsp water) and use maple syrup.
