Brownies / Drownies

von Dieter

We (and apparently others) love these brownies so much that we keep adapting the recipe so we can eat them as much as possible. Our current - high protein/lower sugar - version is here! We played with these recipes in Europe, so the measurements are all in grams/millilitres - we now adapted this to cups for the first recipe but haven't tried it that often, so you if you are measuring ingredients by cups you might need to adjust the amounts slightly. The batter should be like a cream before baking, so more on the soft side. 

Wir (und anscheinend auch andere Personen) mögen diese Brownies so sehr, dass wir das Rezept mehrmals angepasst haben, um diese Brownies so oft wie möglich essen zu können. Hier ist unsere aktuelle Varianten mit viel mehr Eiweiss.

Drownies (high protein)

200gr (1.5C) protein powder mix (we use a mixture of 4 parts rice protein powder, 4 parts pea protein powder, and 1 part hemp protein powder)

100gr (1C) Zucker / sugar
50gr (1/4C) Kakaopulver / cocoa powder 

1 Esslöffel (1T) Backpulver  / baking powder 

1 Teelöffel (1t) Salz / salt

1t Vanille (amount depends on the type of vanilla you use, for most it is around 1t)

250ml (1C) Wasser / water 

150ml (1/2 cup) Öl / oil 

2 Teelöffel (2t) Maple syrup / Ahornsirup

Instead of the protein powder mix, you can use a mixture of 100gr gluten/seitan mix and 100gr protein powder (also soy flour works) - though that of course means they will no longer be gluten free. Or you can use 200gr of normal flour.

Instructions 

• Mix the dry ingredients directly in the baking pan
• Add the wet ingredients and mix thoroughly with a fork
• Bake at 370F for 35 minutes, the brownies are ready when a knife comes out clean and the top has started to caramelise
