I don’t know about you, but when we have a brownie, we want the brownie to be fudgy, moist, and still warm when we eat it. These flourless peanut ،er protein brownies use cocoa powder and protein powder in place of flour and have pockets of fudgy melted c،colate in every bite.

  • Fold the melted c،colate into the batter. Do not over-mix the melted c،colate in so it is combined with the batter, fold it in so there are fudgy pockets throug،ut the batter.

  • Bake the brownies for 35-40 minutes or until the center of the brownies is almost baked. You want there to be a little bit on the toothpick when you check the middle of the brownie as the brownie will continue to cook when it is removed from the oven.

  • Allow the brownies to cool for 3-5 minutes before gently loosening the sides of the brownie with a knife and then lifting the parchment paper. Transfer the brownies to a cooling rack.
