I don’t mean to toot my own horn but these are the best brownies I have ever tasted!
They are extremely moist, soft, and fudgy. They are also deliciously chocolate-y, but not overpoweringly chocolate-y (which is perfect for me because I do not have big sweet tooth).
Packed with Pumpkin… and Protein!
The awesome thing about these brownies is that they are also packed with protein. I used Raw Nutritional’s Maple Vanilla protein powder and by far this is my favourite protein powder!
I have tried so many brands (such as Vega, Canadian Protein, Botanica Health, the list could go on and on), and easily Raw Nutritional knocks them all out of the park.
Raw Nutritional’s Protein Powders all have delicious unique flavours, but are also packed with 20 grams of protein and are a great source of iron.
The texture is also great, and not gritty at all which is a huge deal for me. I could not recommend their protein powders enough!
