Massive Crumbl Double Fudge Brownie

Ingredients

• 65 g Chocolate whey/casein protein powder (A 75% casein/25% whey blend is ideal; all casein also works.)

• 0.5 tsp Baking powder
• Salt (Pinch.)
• 120 g Nonfat Greek yogurt (For the brownie batter.)
• 1 Medium egg
• 25 ml Unsweetened almond milk (For the brownie batter.)
• Water (Add 45–65 ml as needed; the batter should be very thick and spreadable, not pourable.)
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract (Optional.)
• 135 g Nonfat Greek yogurt (For the frosting.)
• 36 g Chocolate whey/casein protein powder (For the frosting.)
• 55 g Powdered zero-calorie sweetener (Use according to desired sweetness.)

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare the pan or pans for the brownies.

2. 2

   In one bowl, whisk together the chocolate whey/casein protein powder, all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated zero-calorie sweetener, baking powder, and salt.

3. 3

   In a separate bowl, combine the nonfat Greek yogurt, egg, unsweetened almond milk, and optional vanilla extract.

4. 4

   Combine the wet and dry mixtures. Add water as needed until the batter is very thick and spreadable rather than pourable.

5. 5

   Divide the batter into 2, 3, or 4 portions, depending on the desired brownie size, and spread the portions into the prepared pan or pans.

6. 6

   Bake for 20–25 minutes. Remove the brownies while the center is still slightly soft.

7. 7

   Cool the brownies completely before frosting.

8. 8

   To make the frosting, mix the nonfat Greek yogurt, chocolate whey/casein protein powder, powdered zero-calorie sweetener, cocoa powder, sugar-free pudding mix, and melted dark chocolate.

9. 9

   Add a splash of water or unsweetened almond milk to the frosting if needed to reach a spreadable consistency.

10. 10

    Spread the frosting generously over the completely cooled brownies, then chill them for the densest fudgy texture.
