Brownie bottom-

Coconut flour 1/2 cup
Hersheys special dark 1/4 cup
baking soda 1stp
1 cup almond milk
2 eggs
1 tablespoon coconut oil (melted)
Stevia (1 tsp extract) (truvia 1/4 cup or Splenda 1/4 cup)

Coconut topping-

finely shreaded reduced fat baking coconut 1/2 cup or more
3 scoops (servings) Whey protein Vanilla
Almond milk (adding 1 Tablespoon at a time till creamy frosting consistency
1 egg
Stevia (1 tsp extract) (truvia 1/4 cup or Splenda 1/4 cup)
1/4 cut chopped walnuts
1/4 unsweetened carob chips or semi sweet chocolate chips

Stevia is different depending on brand, I like the extract that is very condensed but you may use any kind you like. Taste the batter and add more if needed. Too much will make a strange taste so be careful.

Mix topping: whey, coconut, stevia and egg. Add about 3 tablespoons of almond milk and mix and keep adding till you get a spreadable consistency, not too runny.
