Double Chocolate Chip Protein Brownies {gluten Free}

I hope you all had a terrific Mother’s Day. I had a blast visiting my parents out in Pennsylvania. We went hiking. We played games. We ate good food. 

Speaking of good food (<— transition master right there), I have an amazing treat for you today. Feast your eyes on these Double Chocolate Chip Protein Brownies! 

Not to toot my own horn or anything, but You. GUYS! These are so filled with delicious goodness. A little crispy right around the edges and super ooey gooey on the inside.

You really wouldn’t know that each brownie has 21 grams of protein and only 18 carbs! How, you ask? By the magic of Quest Bars! 6 Quest bars in the whole recipe. Mix in a little protein powder, some greek yogurt, and boom – healthy dessert magic. 

 

So. Good. And did I mention they’re gluten free? (Mic drop and out).

7. Spray your baking pan with nonstick spray. Place one Chocolate Brownie layer on the bottom. Spread some of the filling on top. Layer with Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough piece.
