Healthy Peanut Butter Chocolate Protein Brownies
Healthy Peanut Butter Protein Brownies
The following recipe was originally featured on Carrots 'n' Cake and written by Tina Haupert, who is part of POPSUGAR Select Fitness.
I actually thought up this recipe while laying in bed . . . after eating, like, 800 Mini Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups leftover from Halloween. I seriously haven't been able to keep my hand out of the bag. They're that incredible. Clearly, I was inspired by the flavor combo, but I also had some canned pumpkin that I wanted to use up. Yea, I know . . . I'm kind of weirdly obsessed with not wasting food, so I sometimes think about what's in my fridge at random times of the day. OK, not normal. Anyway, I'm loving all things peanut butter + chocolate lately, so, naturally, Healthy Peanut Butter Protein Brownies seemed like the perfect recipe. And, guys, these single-serving brownies couldn't be easier to make – just mix up the batter, pour into ramekins, and nuke in the microwave. Easy as that! And, of course, the melted peanut butter and chocolate is truly to die for. Enjoy!
