Author: Dani Shugart
This high - protein dessert is an excellent choice during cutting phases. However, its deliciousness extends beyond those focused on cutting. Here, we present a straightforward recipe.
Pumpkin serves as an ideal ingredient to infuse desserts with a significant amount of moisture while keeping calorie intake in check. Moreover, its flavor can be easily modified, so you're not restricted to the typical pie - like or over - priced latte - inspired tastes.
As fitness enthusiasts, we may have the capacity to accommodate additional calories. Nevertheless, wouldn't it be appealing to enjoy a substantial portion that satiates you without exceeding your daily calorie allowance? This recipe makes that possible.
Metabolic Drive Protein Brownies
Ingredients
One 16 - ounce can of pumpkin (excluding pumpkin pie filling)
One cup of chocolate Metabolic Drive (available for purchase on Amazon) or 3 heaping scoops
One cup of Splenda
Two tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon of baking soda
A pinch of coarse - ground salt
Optional: Nuts or seeds for topping
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Thoroughly combine all the ingredients.
Procure a medium - sized pan. (A 9 - inch round cake pan is recommended.) Spray the pan with coconut oil and then dust it with protein powder to prevent the brownies from adhering.
Spoon the batter into the pan and spread it evenly. Lightly sprinkle the top with nuts or seeds (if desired) and the coarse - ground salt.
Bake for approximately 18 - 20 minutes or until the brownies are fully cooked.
Cut the brownies into 6 pieces and relish!
