  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp stevia

3 I​ngredient Emergency Brownies

Gluten Free with Vegan Option

Macros Per Brownie: 7P 8F 8C Yields: 16 brownies


Ingredients:

  • 475g pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
  • 1 cup nut butter
  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa (optional)
  • 2 scoops Devotion Nutrition Brownie Batter Protein Powder or (Pescience Vegan for Vegan)

Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray an 8×8 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Combine the pumpkin, peanut butter, protein, and cocoa if using, in medium sized mixing bowl. Stir well. 

The batter will be thicker than a normal brownie batter. If you use a different protein powder, the batter may become more dry or thick, so gradually add 1 tbsp water or sugar free syrup at a time to thin out batter.

Bake for 16-19 minutes, they will appear underdone. Let cool for at least 30 minutes.

If you want a thinner brownie, similar to a soft protein bar, use a rectangular dish, about 9 x13. Cut equally.

Pumpkin Fudge Muffins

Macros Per Serving: 14 Protein 4 Fat 7 Carbohydrates per muffin

Yiellds: 3 muffins

Ingredients:

  • 45g Cocoa Bar In A Jar, divided
  • 1 Scoop (30g ) Devotion Nutrition Brownie Batter
  • 45g egg whites
  • 60g pureed pumpkin
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • Nonstick spray
  • 1 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice
  • 2 Pumpkin Pie Flex Flavors (optional)
  • ½ tsp Vanilla Extract (optional)
  • 15g Black Cocoa (or unsweetened cocoa powder, either optional)


Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a muffin tin with nonstick spray. Line with 3 muffin cups, spraying the cups again with the cooking spray. You can quadruple this recipe to make one dozen muffins, but I prefer making the muffins in smaller batches so they are fresh and warm.


In a medium sized bowl, combine 30g of the Cocoa Bar and all of the remaining ingredients and mix to combine well until smooth. Evenly distribute the batter into the muffin cups. Bake for 15 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with small amount of batter left behind on the toothpick, while the muffins feel mostly firm and set on the outside. When the muffins are done, remove from the oven and immediately top each with equal parts of the remaining parts. These are also great topped with chocolate chips, or my Protein Fudge Frosting.
