Hello Friends!
Looking for something to keep that sweet tooth satisfied? This is the time of year when temptation is everywhere...baking, candy, hors'deurves...a little treat can quickly turn in to an all out binge event!
Here's an easy recipe for a protein packed treat that will leave you satisfied. Whip it up and enjoy before you head out to a party...it will actually have you 'passing' on the most decadent of treats. A few bites also puts those 'sweet cravings' to bed after dinner when you just need a little something!
Here's what you need...
Mix the first four ingredients to disperse the peanut butter...it's powdery, don't worry! Add milk and mix into a thick batter. You may need more liquid but 2 TBSP is a good place to start.
Here's where you can get creative. Add a drop of any extract...coconut, rum or peppermint (tis the season!). Other additions could be raisins, nuts or even mini chocolate chips!
Now the hardest part. Put your brownie batter in the fridge for at least 15 min! This can be skipped, but it makes it extra thick, almost icing-like!
I like to savour this....it's gooey and I like to twirl it on my spoon...seriously it can take half an hour to eat....how utterly satisfying!!!
***One note...not all protein powders work in this. Some varieties make it taste like wallpaper paste. I have used PVL Iso Gold and Kaizan Naturals. Both are delicious...promise!
