I don't think anything in the world beats baking a scrumptious, delicious, chocolatey pudding which tastes like heaven. Except when you bake a scrumptious, delicious, chocolatey pudding that tastes like heaven and also happens to be pretty healthy...
That's a good feeling to have, right?
It's safe to say that when I made these Protein Brownies, I was beaming from ear to ear. Especially when I topped them with this healthy Peanut Butter and Greek Yoghurt Frosting. Pretty impressive, right?
Since they are made in the microwave, you can literally whip these Brownies up in seconds. Which also means you'll be making them a LOT. Well, they get made daily in our greedy household, anyway...
I have nothing else to say except: You NEED to make these!
Enjoy your guilt-free baking,
