Protein Brownies

So I've been having cravings for something sweet and decided to look up healthy recipes using protein powder. I came across this recipe for protein powder brownies and made them last week.

They were VERY dry and I was a little disappointed. I felt like the basic ingredients were right so I have tinkered with the quantities a little and added a banana to the mix for moisture.
I have made these today and I can confirm they are delicious! I have used brown sugar as its all I had but you could obviously substitute for a sweetener such as stevia. I also added a table spoon of honey but thats because I have so much of it I want to use it up, so optional extra.
So here is my recipe:

2 whole eggs
2 egg whites
1/2 cup low fat cottage cheese
1 cup oats
2 scoops protein powder (I used chocolate but vanilla works well)
1 tsp vanilla
1 pinch salt
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 cup brown sugar (or use sweetener)
2 tbsp cocoa
1 banana
1/4 cup water


I literally threw all of these ingredients into the food processor/blender and mixed them up. I put them into a WELL GREASED tin (oats stick to the pan like glues!)
Bake at 350 for 20 mins!

Yum!

I had some spare mixture left and added it to cupcake pans, this also worked well, I placed a date into the centre and it gave them a gooey middle! So delicious!
