You know what day is tomorrow? Valentines day. You know what that means? An excuse for copious amounts of chocolate, red velvet, and any other treats your heart desires.
Red Velvet Protein Brownies
If artificial sweeteners don’t take me out, I swear it’ll be from the amount of food coloring it takes to turn something chocolate and brown to something vibrant and red. Kinda kidding, but also kind of not kidding.
The base of this recipe is the same as my Christmas Cosmic Protein Brownies found on the Macro Supps site. This is my favorite, go-to protein brownie recipe.
They are moist, fudgy, and packed with protein. Why have a protein bar when you can have protein brownies with just as much protein and tastes way better?
Of course, if you don’t want to add the amount of food coloring it takes to turn these into red velvet, you can leave that out and it will taste exactly the same, just without the exciting red color.
Note about the protein powder
Do NOT use a pure whey protein powder in this recipe. I repeat, do NOT use whey protein. It will not give you the same fudgy, moist brownie consistency.
The protein powder I use in all of these recipes is my own brand, Macro Supps. I specifically formulated it to be the BEST protein powder on the market for baking and cooking.
