First off, let's start with ingredients;
INGREDIENTS:
1/4 cup light butter
2/3 cup dark chocolate or milk chocolate melting wafers
1/2 cup swerve granular
1/4 brown sugar swerve
1 egg + 1 egg yolk
Dash salt
1/4 tsp vanilla
2 tbsp all purpose flour
1/4 cup bowmar Nutrition protein hot chocolate
TOPPING:
1/4 cup powdered swerve
1 tbsp unsweetened almond milk
1/4 cup bowmar Nutrition buckeye butter
1/3 cup whipped cream cheese
Start my melting butter and chocolate melting wafers together. I used a glass bowl over a pot of boiling water but I’m sure the microwave would work fine. Just heat in small increments and stir well each time until melted. In a separate bowl combine granular swerve, and brown sugar swerve. Mix in 1 egg. Whisk until the mixture is lighter and fluffier. Add in egg yolk and repeat. Stir in vanilla and salt before adding in the melted chocolate/butter mixture. Once combined, sift in protein and flour. Do not over mix. Pour into a medium loaf pan lined with parchment paper and bake for somewhere around 35 minutes at 350 degrees. If you put a toothpick in, it should not come out clean, unless you want cake like brownies. I like mine fudgy. I wait until the top is shiny and there’s no more wiggle. Usually the top is JUST beginning to crack. Alter the time based on your preferences. If they come out too undercooked for you put them in the fridge to set more before cutting.
For the frosting, combine cream cheese, buckeye butter, powdered swerve and milk for consistency. Top brownies and enjoy! If you’d like them to look like the one I’m holding, you can melt some chocolate with a dash of almond milk and drizzle on top too, but hey, I’m a little extra.
