- IT’S SO FUDGING DELICIOUS! Seriously, how is this stuff healthy!?
- Pumpkin – I haven’t tried but I would think you could replace with banana or mashed avocado if you needed.
- Nut butter – Almond, peanut, cashew, any nut butter of choice! My favorites are almond and cashew butter. If you have a nut allergy you can sub for sunflower butter. For lower fat, you can use peanut butter powder.
- Cocoa powder – You could use normal cocoa, dark cocoa, or dutch black cocoa! I used normal cocoa, here but all are tasty options!
- Protein powder – I used PEScience Vanilla. A chocolate or peanut butter flavor would also work here. Honestly, you could really use any flavor! To make a vegan brownie batter, use a vegan protein powder.
- Sweetener – I used Swerve Granular Sweetener. You can use Truvia, Splenda, Stevia, sugar, or any other sweetener of your choice.
- Sugar-free pancake syrup – You can also use honey. Substitute with pure maple syrup if you wish to make this recipe vegan.
- Vanilla – to maximize it’s flavor of course!
