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 protein powder, almond flour, cocoa powder, and sweetener.

3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, applesauce, melted coconut oil, and peppermint extract.

4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until just combined.

5

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 22-25 minutes.

6

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.
