Rich and fudgey brownies. Made with pumpkin, cocoa powder and stevia.
Ingredients
  • 1 cup oat flour
  • ¾ cup whey protein, chocolate (I used 86 grams of Jamie's Lean Body For Her Whey Protein) *
  • 1½ cups pumpkin, canned
  • ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ cup milk (I used unsweetened almond milk)
  • ¾ cup stevia for baking (I used Truvia Baking Blend)
  • 1 egg
  • 2 egg whites
For the Topping
  • ¼ cup stevia chocolate chips (I used Krisda stevia chocolate chips, Lily's stevia chips are another option)
Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F.
  2. In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, combine the egg, egg whites and stevia and mix until fluffy.
  3. Add in the pumpkin, cocoa powder and almond milk, and mix until it resembled a pudding of sorts.
  4. Next add the oat flour and whey protein and mix until well combined with no lumps.
  5. Lightly mist a 8x8 or 9x9 oven proof pan or dish. Pour the brownie mixture in, and smooth it out so its even.
  6. Bake for approx. 25 minutes until its cooked through. It will still appear a bit wet, and a toothpick won't come clean.
  7. When the brownies come out of the oven, immediately sprinkle the chocolate chips on top. Set it aside for 3-4 minutes, then with a knife, spread the melted chocolate all over the brownies.
  8. Allow to cool, and cut into 16 squares.
  9. Keep stored in the fridge in a sealed container and consume within 4-5 days. Can also be frozen, but will need to be thawed before eating.
Notes
* If you prefer not to use whey protein, you can add an extra ¾ cup oat flour. It works in most recipes to do this, I just haven't tried it myself.
