#cakeaday Protein brownie time!!!

Ok friends, here it is, Brownie cake recipe. It is very simple and basic and the great thing is so many things are interchangeable and the macros are super friendly which I know you all like!

Main Ingredients are as follows:



1 tin butter beans/cannellini (220g drained) - really any bean you want
25g Protein
25g flour
20g Cocoa powder
60ml egg whites
75-100ml milk (any kind - coconut/almond for better macros)
1 teaspoon baking powder
Stevia/Sweetener/Cinnamon to taste.

Combine all ingredients except the beans, which you need to rinse and drain.


Once all is mixed into a batter, add the beans and using a stick blender thoroughly combine everything into a luscious thick batter! At this stage be sure to taste and make any additions to reach your desired taste.

Transfer to a round/square oiled cake tin and bake in the oven at 160 degrees Celsius/320 Fahrenheit for around 16-20min. Do the old tooth pick test or touch the top to see how cooked it is. Really a bit under cooked is perfect as it still sets while it is on the cooling rack.


Take out oven and leave in tin for 5 min, then transfer to a cooling rack for another 15min. You can either shove it down your face while its nice and warm or refrigerate and serve later.


When it comes to toppings it's totally up to you and is simple, use low fat cream cheese/smooth ricotta/blended cottage - really anything you want. And then add fruit spreads/waldens/nutella or whatever flavor you are after then spread on top once cooled.

Macros for the whole cake as per instructions above are - 475 calories - 7F/60C/47P


That's like a whole damn cake for 1 slice of a cafe style brownie! WINNING!!
