Anyone else slightly obsessed with chocolate? Brownies? Anything Sweet? Basically I have a sweet tooth and I am not ashamed about it! I love creating healthier sweet treats to keep in the fridge and freezer so that I know I can easily grab something to cure that sweet tooth but not completely eat junk all of the time! Don’t get me wrong I love my full fat candy bars and desserts but sometimes it’s nice to have a lighter snack on hand!
So insert RED VELVET BROWNIES! They are high in protein, low sugar, gluten free, grain free, keto friendly and SUPER SUPER FUDGEY!
Here’s what you’ll need:
100 g of beets / pumpkin/ 1 banana ( I used beets here but any of the options work!)
1 egg
1 cup Greek yogurt
60 g of chocolate protein powder
2 tbsp cacao powder
1/4 cup sugar I used Lakanto monkfruit sugar to keep it low in sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 cup almond milk
1/4 cup @lilys_sweets chocolate chips!
Directions:
- Blend yogurt, beets/banana/ pumpkin, and egg together.
- In separate bowl combine dry ingredients.
- Add purée mixture to the dry ingredients.
- Stir and then add almond milk. And then add the chocolate chips!
- Bake 350 for 20 minutes in muffin tins! I used silicone molds and only filled them about 1/3-1/2 full!
- Once baked I frosted them with some @delightedbydesserts red velvet hummus! Or you can make your own or eat them by themselves!
They didn’t last long in my house! And I may or may not have shared them with my family because I am a chocolate holic!
