Fudgy Brownies That Shocked Me

I’ve perfected this recipe to the point where if calories didn’t exist I would still choose this over a typical dessert. It tastes way too decadent to be under 250 cals, super rich!! The full thing was about the size of an iPhone and thickness depends on how much you spread it out/pan used, honestly larger than the pics show.

Macros:
Calories for the whole thing: 230
Protein: 25-26g
Carbs: 13g

Wet
60g 0% Greek yogurt or skyr

pinch of salt

Dry
15g PE Science chocolate truffle protein powder
8g cocoa powder
6–7g rolled oats (blended into flour)

Structure

METHOD

  1. Wet base
    Mix until smooth:
    yogurt + peanut butter
    Then stir in egg whites gently (no whipping)

  2. Add dry
    Fold in:
    protein powder
    cocoa
    oat flour
    baking powder
    salt + sweetener to taste (I used stevia)

  3. Rest (DO NOT skip)
    **5–8 minutes (**oat flour hydrates)

  4. Bake:
    170°C / 340°F
    14 minutes

This is sooo niche. But does anyone else remember her version of All is Found from 2019? It’s exactly what I heard upon my first listen of Coyote!! Not sure if anyone else clocked that too?

Literally so fudgy. Highly recommend if you want something rich and satisfying.

Yields 8 brownies (420 cals for all - I cross checked with ChatGPT based on the difference in weight before and after cooking to make sure this is accurate! The final batch was 275g and 1.8cals/g)

Wet

1 medium cooked beet (100–120g), blended smooth

1/3 cup Skyr/greek yogurt

3 tbsp egg whites

1 tbsp peanut butter (make sure only ingredient is peanuts not sure how other pbs will affect recipe)

1 tsp vanilla

Dry

3 tbsp cocoa powder

1/3 cup oat flour 

Stevia to taste

Pinch of salt

Blend beets + skyr 

Mix wet ingredients gently

Stir (don’t whip) beet + skyr + egg whites + peanut butter + vanilla

Add dry ingredients

Fold in cocoa, oat flour, salt

Batter should be thick but still spreadable (like skyr + paste hybrid)

Bake

175°C / 350°F for 20–23 minutes

edges look set and slightly pulling from pan

Cool (VERY important)

20–30 min at room temp

then 30–60 min in fridge for clean brownie texture
