A single serving = less temptation! Really good sized brownie with no added fat or refined sugars. Cook in your toaster oven and have dessert in less than 30 min. :D

You can nix the protein powder and just add another tbs of flour, too. The brownie/cake thingie is softer and more fudgy with the protein powder. It stays sort of creamy and moist in the middle - more like flourless cakes. The version without the protein is more a dense brownie with a normal crumb.
