How to Make Sugar Free Protein Brownies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce, 1/2 cup Splenda (or your preferred sugar substitute), and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 scoop (approx. 1/4 cup) protein powder (vanilla or chocolate recommended), 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Stir in 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional).
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before frosting.
- **Frosting:** In a medium bowl, beat 1 cup heavy whipping cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Add 1 package (3.4 oz) sugar-free instant pudding mix (chocolate or vanilla) and beat for 2 minutes, or until thickened.
- Gradually add 1/4 cup silk (soy milk or other milk alternative) and 1 scoop (approx. 1/4 cup) protein powder, mixing until smooth and fluffy.
- Once the brownies are cool, frost evenly and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before cutting into 15 large or 30 small squares.
