Flourless Orange Brownies

Light and moist these are the perfect healthy treat. By whisking the egg whites separately you create a much lighter texture. The addition of protein powder is a great way to increase protein without creating a heavy brownie.

What’s Good About It?

Adding a little chocolate protein powder is an easy way to increase the overall protein content in these brownies. Using xylitol keeps the sugar content low. Erythritol would also work well in this recipe.
