Kori's Tips

For more helpful hints, substitution ideas, cooking tips, and other delicious recipes check out my post above.
TIPS: If the dough feels too dry, add more milk 1 teaspoon at a time until it comes together. If it gets too sticky, mix in a little more almond flour. For the best brownie batter flavor, use a chocolate protein powder you already like the taste of.
VARIATIONS: Stir in mini chocolate chips for extra chocolatey bites. Add chopped walnuts for a little crunch and that classic brownie combo. A pinch of espresso powder is also great if you want to deepen the chocolate flavor. 
SERVING SUGGESTIONS: Keep these in the fridge for an easy high-protein snack, tuck a couple into lunch boxes, or enjoy one after dinner when you want something healthy that still tastes like dessert.
