High Protein Brownies

This is a super yummy and easy high protein brownies recipe that even your pickiest eaters will love.

I don’t know about you… but I have a weakness for brownies.

I mean… come on.

Warm, melt-y Chocolate… Who wouldn’t want to eat that!?!

With fall approaching, I really wanted to get in the kitchen and make some brownies for the whole family to enjoy. Because I want my girls to learn some healthy recipes and tips, I thought this would be a great recipe to try!

After a morning playing at the Children’s Museum, we could all go for a great snack. I loved that this was easy (not many ingredients) and they girls loved helping me mix in everything with my stand mixer.

You really can make a healthy brownie??? 

Depending on your definition of healthy, YES! Is it going to be perfect for everyone? Probably not… but it is much better than a traditional recipe.

One thing that I love about this recipe is that it uses Agave instead of sugar. Not that agave is perfect, but it has shown that it has a lower glycemic index. I struggle a little with blood sugar issues, so it is always great for me to find recipes that are lower carb. It had a great flavor that wasn’t artificial (that some people who don’t like stevia would enjoy).

Another great thing is the protein! This recipe packs in protein from the Almond butter and Keto friendly  Protein Powder.

Why is protein so important?

You should be eating some protein every 2-3 hours to help your body maintain steady blood sugar, also to give you sustained energy without crashes. This would be a great snack because it has protein plus some quick energy from the agave.

When you are shopping for a protein powder, what I always look for is the grams of sugar and carb count. My favorite protein powder is a blend of protein, and soluble and insoluble fibers to keep you full longer – and only 100 calories per serving! As a bonus, it has only 2 grams of net carbs and less than one gram of sugar (and it still tastes great!)

Now for the recipe!
