Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup egg whites
  • 1 large ripe plantain

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup True Nutrition Chocolate Beef Protein powder
  • 1 tbsp beet powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 cup NuNaturals cocoa powder

Toppings

  • 1/4 cup The Date Lady Sugar-Free Chocolate Chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s at the right temperature for baking the brownies evenly.
  2. Blend Ingredients: Add the egg whites, chocolate beef protein powder, ripe plantain, beet powder, baking powder, and cocoa powder to a blender. Blend the mixture until it becomes completely smooth and well combined, ensuring an even batter.
  3. Prepare the Pan: Line a loose-bottomed baking pan with parchment paper. Pour the blended batter into the pan, spreading it out evenly for consistent thickness.
  4. Add Chocolate Chips: Sprinkle the sugar-free chocolate chips evenly over the top of the batter to add bursts of chocolate flavor throughout the brownies.
  5. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes or until the brownies are set and a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean.
  6. Cool Completely: Remove the pan from the oven and allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan. This helps the brownies to set properly and makes slicing easier.
  7. Slice and Serve: Once cooled, slice the brownies into 8 bars and serve.

Notes

  • Use a ripe plantain to enhance natural sweetness and blendability.
  • Ensure the batter is blended until smooth for uniform texture.
  • Allow the brownies to cool completely before slicing for clean cuts.
  • Feel free to substitute the chocolate chips with any no-added-sugar or sugar-free chocolate of your choice.
  • Store leftover brownies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
