"Trying to find ways to sneak a little extra protein in things that I make and these protein brownies really did not disappoint. I also wanted to add a little twist so I threw in some oranges because they are in season.
For protein I used Equip's chocolate clean protein powder. This one is actually made from beef isolate powder instead of whey. Don't worry, it doesn't taste like beef at all - it tastes really good, and is perfect in the recipe."
"I used coconut sugar instead of refined sugar, but after tasting the batter I felt like I needed to add a little bit of maple syrup.
Then I let them bake for about 20 minutes. Once they came out I let them cool and then I had a little taste test, these turned out so good. The hint of orange was just so fun and we all know brownies are better the next day. So the best part is, these just get better and better!"
