Protein Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownie

This one goes out to my dessert lovers!  My husband is a brownie lover!  As a matter of fact, he might even consider himself a brownie connoisseur!  So if he enjoyed these, this recipe is definitely a keeper in my home!  I made a dark chocolate brownie recipe and tweaked it a bit! Then I was in the store and there on the shelf was the jar of yummy goodness that changed my life and this recipe! So back into the kitchen I went, and this is what I created!

Ingredients:
2 Scoops of Chocolate Protein Powder (about 3/4 cup) (I use Nitro Pro see below)
1/2 TSP baking soda
2 TBSP of Cocoa
1/2 TSP Salt
4 TBSP of Peanut Butter Chips (if you don't like Peanut Butter feel free to add dark chocolate chips)
1/2 Cup of Maranatha Dark Chocolate Almond Spread (This is what changed my life)
2 TBSP of Agave
2 TBSP of Honey
1/2 TSP Vanilla
1 Egg white or 3 TBSP of Liquid Egg Whites
1/2 Cup Almond Milk (I used Blue Diamond Unsweetened Vanilla 30 calorie)
And one 8X8 Pyrex dish and Pam non stick cooking spray.

Step 1:  Go ahead and preheat your oven to 350 and take out two mixing bowls.
Step 2:  In one mixing bowl combine your dry mixture of Protein Powder, Baking Soda, Cocoa, Salt and Peanut Butter Chips and stir to combine.
Step 3:  In your second mixing bowl (microwave safe) put in 1/2 Cup of the Dark Chocolate Almond Spread.  I put mine in the microwave for about 20 to 25 seconds to make sure it was soft.  I then mixed the Agave, Honey and Vanilla into the Chocolate Spread.
Step 4:  Scoop out your Almond spread mixture into the dry mixture bowl.  Stir your ingredients well, it will be very clumpy but don't worry about that just make sure everything is combined.
Step 5:  Add in your egg white and mix.  Then slowly add in the 1/2 Cup of Almond Milk until your mixture resembles a brownie mixture.
Step 6:  Spray your 8x8 Pyrex dish with Pam and then pour the Brownie Mixture into the pan.  Cook for about 25 minutes on 350.  Make sure you watch your mixture.  I have a gas oven so my Brownies cooked pretty quickly.  You could need an extra minute or two if you have electric.
Once your Brownies are done take them out and let them cool for about 10-15 minutes.  If you use the 8x8 pan I suggest, and your cut your brownies into 8 slices, each brownie contains:
157 calories, 12 grams of protein, 14 grams of sugar, and 18 grams of carbs.

The Protein I use is below.  If you are local to the Buford, GA area run over to Win Win Nutrition and Supplements and ask Beverly for Tia's Top Shelf Protein and she can point you in the right direction.  http://www.wwnsupplements.com/
