These brownies are no joke. In fact, they’re less of a brownie and more like a chocolate protein bar…But they TASTE like brownies so that is what we call a WIN.

They are packed with healthy fats and fibre to keep that blood sugar from spiking, take only FIVE ingredients and have that perfect fudgy brownie consistency that we all know and love
