A guilt-free treat that's rich in flavor and packed with protein. To create these delectable brownies, start with the wholesome goodness of sweet potato or canned pumpkin. Add natural almond or peanut butter for a creamy texture and nutty flavor. Crack an egg into the mix for binding and richness, then pour in water or milk to bring the batter together.
For a burst of sweetness, add vanilla extract and granulated monk fruit sweetener. Incorporate cacao or unsweetened cocoa powder, vanilla or chocolate protein powder, baking soda, and a shake of salt for that perfect brownie consistency.
Stir in dark chocolate chips for an extra layer of decadence. Bake until set, and you'll have Flourless Protein Brownies that are not only delicious but also a nutritious treat. Enjoy the guilt-free indulgence in every fudgy and protein-packed bite!

I made these tonight for the first time and they were a hit!! They came out super moist and my most pickiest of picky eaters even ate two! I can’t tell him there’s sweet potato in it or he’ll never eat them again but we all loved them. Will double the recipe next time for sure.

Hooray! And yes I almost always double and they freeze well too.
This recipe SO good!! I left out the sweetener and eat it warm with a scoop of ice cream. Feels like dessert from a fancy restaurant. ☺️

I LOVE these so much! My current favorite addition is the peppermint extract :) to keep from eating the entire batch, I cut them and put them into the freezer and take out 1 at a time.
