Protein Peanut Butter Brownie Pie

My all-time favorite dessert has to be my grandmother’s peanut butter pie. I’m pretty sure each slice has close to 1,000 calories, but dang it is amazing. Another one of my favorite desserts, obviously, is brownies. So, I kind of combined the two here with this Protein Peanut Butter Brownie Pie.

Yep, PROTEIN PEANUT BUTTER BROWNIE PIE!

I was at the grocery store the other day and grabbed a reduced fat graham cracker crust for the heck of it. I figured I’d use it at some point. Then, yesterday, I decided to try making a protein brownie pie. Because who doesn’t love pie and brownies?

Honestly, this was just something that I started throwing things together, and it ended up turning into one of the most delicious desserts I have made in a long time.

For the Peanut Butter Protein Brownie Filling

The protein peanut butter brownie filling consists of the following main ingredients:

Flour (whole wheat + self-rising)
Macro Supps ONE Protein, Chocolate Brownie🍫
Cocoa powder
creamy peanut butter
Sugar free sweetener
Greek yogurt

And then of course all the other standard brownie ingredients like eggs, some light butter (my new favorite thing to use in baking), vanilla extract, etc. The light butter has only 4 grams of fat per tablespoon compared to about 11 grams of fat in regular butter.

The Swerve sweetener I have been using is the best sugar free sweetener I have used. For the first time I have found a sweetener that actually tastes and bakes like sugar, but without any of the sugar. It is like magic.

Quick note about the flour

I used half whole wheat flour, and half self-rising flour. If you don’t have self-rising flour, you can use all-purpose or more whole wheat flour. Just add about 1/2 tsp. baking powder to the recipe.

For the Peanut Butter Topping

You don’t have to add the peanut butter topping because this protein brownie pie is amazing as it is, but it just adds a little extra depth of flavor and texture. It is super easy and low-fat as well. Just mix peanut flour (de-fatted peanuts basically), sugar free confectioners sweetener (sugar free powdered sugar), and some almond milk.

Then I added the peanut butter mixture to a small plastic bag and used it to pipe on top of the cooled protein peanut butter brownie pie. So good!

The best part about this is that each slice is about 330 calories and nearly 20 grams of protein! I will take a slice of a protein brownie pie over a protein bar or protein shake any day! Enjoy!

And, the most important part about this recipe is using a protein powder MADE FOR BAKING AND COOKING!!!!

The Macro Supps ONE Protein is seriously the best protein powder on the market for making recipes like this, anabolic protein ice cream, anabolic protein french toast, and so many more.
