INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, combine the protein powder, almond flour, cocoa powder, and erythritol.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and melted butter.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until a thick batter forms. Fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips.
Spread the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 22-25 minutes.
Let the brownies cool completely before slicing.
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.
