Ingredients

2 Scoops Milk Chocolate Whey Protein
4 TBPS. Ghirardelli Unsweetened Cocoa Powder (I used Hershey's Dark Cocoa)
2 oz. Crunchy Almond Butter
1 cup Organic Spelt, Flax Seed or Oat Flour (I used Oat Flour)
1 cup Stevia in The Raw (I used 1/2 cup)(optional)
5 Egg Whites (Large)
2 Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Pudding Cups Ready Made (I used Jell-o brand)
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
1/2 tsp Baking Soda
Pinch of Sea Salt
4 oz. water


Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350°.

Spray sheet pan with non-stick Extra Virgin Olive Oil cooking spray of your choice.

In large bowl mix Whey, cocoa powder, flour, Stevia(?), baking soda and salt.

In separate smaller bowl blend egg whites, pudding, water and almond butter until blended well.

Stir in wet ingredients into large bowl of the blended dry ingredients. Mix until all is evenly blended into a batter. (I used a hand held mixer)

Pour into the prepared sheet pan.

Bake 20-30 minutes or until toothpick inserted into brownies comes out clean. For moist brownies, do not overcook.

Allow to cool thoroughly in pan. Cut cooled brownies into 16 squares.
