High Protein Brownies (Gluten free option)
These high protein brownies are super chocolately, gooey, gluten free and high in protein of course! This is one of my favorite dessert recipes because there are no eggs and no butter needed! I love how they are a good-for-you dessert recipe! That way, if I want 2, 3 or even the whole tray, I don't feel guilty about it! These high protein brownies are rich, fudgy, easy to make and come together quickly in one bowl! They’re nut-free, eggless and butter-free.
