INSTRUCTIONS

1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8x8 inch baking pan.

2

In a large bowl, whisk together the whey and casein protein powders, coconut flour, cocoa powder, sweetener, baking powder, and salt.

3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and Greek yogurt until smooth. Then, stir in the melted dark chocolate.

4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a thick batter forms.

5

Spread the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly fudgy.

6

Allow the brownies to cool completely before slicing and serving.

TROUBLESHOOTING

My brownies are too dry

Try adding 1-2 tablespoons more liquid (milk, yogurt, or egg whites). Also ensure you're not over-measuring the protein powder - use the scoop and level method.

They didn't rise properly

Check your baking powder is fresh (test by adding to hot water - it should bubble vigorously). Also, don't overmix the batter as this can deflate the air bubbles.

The texture is rubbery

This usually means too much protein powder or overbaking. Reduce baking time by 2-3 minutes and check doneness with a toothpick.
