Protein Brownies

Chocolate Super Healthy Brownies
1 can Pumpkin Puree, 15oz
1 cup Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
½ cup Rolled Oats
½ cup Flax Seed Meal
1 cup Soy Protein Powder
1 cup Hersey’s Special Dark Cocoa Powder (or other dark cocoa powder)
1 cup Splenda
4 tbsp Cinnamon
1 cup Egg Beaters or Egg Whites
½ cup Light Sour Cream
1 cup Skim Milk
2 tsp Baking Soda
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1 pkg(16oz-ish) Dark (60% + cocoa) Chocolate Chips (optional)

Preheat Oven to 375. Mix all the dry stuff (oats, flour, flax seed, protein powder, cocoa powder, splenda, cinnamon, and baking soda) together, really well. Sift it if you want. Put the Egg Beaters in a big bowl, very big, and beat with a hand mixed until nice and foamy and or soft peaks. Normally if making something like an angel food cake we’d be careful now, but we’re not making an angel food cake, so…
Add the pumpkin and sour cream into the bowl and mix well, add the milk and vanilla and start adding the dry mixture a little at a time. Meanwhile in another part of the kitchen, if you want it extra chocolately you’ll need to melt the optional chocolate chips in a double boiler or a microwave and then drizzle into the mixture, or just drop the chips in if you’d rather have chocolate chunks in the finished product, your choice. When your mixture has fully come together, stick it into a lubed 13×9 baking dish, it’ll be thick, you should spray the back of a spatula with some non-stick spray to help spread it around. When it is good and even pop it in the oven for 1 hour.

Peanut Butter Protein Brownies in a Microwave
Ingredients:
1 scoop of protein powder; chocolate, vanilla, or peanut butter
1 tablespoon natural peanut butter
milk or water

Mix all ingredients together in a small glass bowl; do not use plastic. If the resulting mixture is too thick add a couple drops of milk or water to loosen it up until it reaches your desired consistency. Since it is already in a glass bowl, microwave on high for 30-45 seconds. Mixture should come out to a cake/brownie like consistency.
