A Brownie with NO Carbs?

Posted on September 15th, 2009 by peanutbutterfingers

My carbless brownie (which I’ve dubbed my protein brownie) is my snack of choice when those 3 p.m. munchies hit. I use All the Whey protein powder (my favorite flavors are chocolate peanut butter cup and cup cake batter) to make the “brownie.” Now don’t go expecting Duncan Hines-quality brownies because the density and moisture just isn’t there, but this little substitute is a great way for me to sneak extra protein into my diet since I do not particularly enjoy protein shakes or really crave meat.

Protein Brownie

 

Ingredients:

One scoop protein powder of choice

One egg white

Pinch of baking soda

Little bit of water

Nuts (optional)

Directions:

Combine ingredients, adding just enough water to make the “batter” moist. Microwave on high for one minute. Your brownie will puff up a lot and then deflate. Enjoy immediately while still warm and moist. This brownie is also good topped with yogurt and fresh berries.

Again, this will not taste anything like the ooey-gooey brownies you’re used to but remember that this brownie is actually good for you! :) Some will love it, some will hate it.

I love it and so does Sadie (see, she wants some):

Don’t worry, Sadie’s not allowed to have the chocolate-flavored brownies. Chocolate and dogs = a biiig no no!
