TIPS FOR CREATING PROTEIN BROWNIES
-
The longer you bake, the more “set” the center will be. Start with 30 minutes and add more time as desired.
-
If you prefer cakey brownies, you can add in 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder to add a bit more lift to the texture.
-
Once prepared, these red velvet brownies will keep for about 3-5 days at room temperature.
-
To ensure the brownies don’t dry out, keep them in an air tight container.
-
If using flax eggs, combine 2 tablespoons of ground flax seeds with 5 tablespoons of water. Mix together and let thicken, then add to the recipe in place of the eggs.
