I see what you're doing Sasha. Most protein brownie recipes on the internet are normal brownie recipes that also call for protein powder but you however have done the research and devised an entirely protein powder free recipe. Honestly Good on you! I truly hope your protein series get way more views. You deserve it

[PachoH]

I'll be adding these ingredients to next week's grocery list. They look delicious. I've never made so many recipes from one person. Most of my go to recipes are yours !

[michelbeaudet]

With this channel, it's a thumbs up before trying. He deserves it.
Having made it, it's a unique taste. Not a sweat tooth desert but a dark chocolate desert.

Absolutely loving your high protein no protein powder series!

I finally made these brownies . It tastes awesome and guilt free, it also gave me a lot of energy. I used sweet potatoes coz that's what l had at hand .
Thank you Sasha. May you expand in JESUS name

What you cook is not only delicious but also very healthy ☺️ You are a gift for the YouTube viewers 🥰
Will definitely try your recipes and share my feedback to you ❤️❤️

It’s great to see that someone tries to incorporate more protein but using natural ingredients. I personally have like 3 bags of protein powder and I absolutely hate each one of them. It is fine at first, but in a while it just becomes too sickly and also isn’t digested very well.

[macconmara]

I can't wait to try these brownies! This will be a great alternative to protein shakes after working out.

As I am father flax i Love that you reminded people Flax is an option for the eggs! And that there’s ground flax too!

[KalinRozthan]

One of my favorite Youtube channels. I love your recipes. This one will probably because a staple of mine as Brownies are my favorite dessert right behind one other. Your recipes make me feel like i can lose weight without losing flavor.

[michellethaler]

I bought your book and absolutely love it. Thanks.

[georgiafurey]

I love your whole foods approach!!! So nice to see somebody baking without protein powder

[MariamLim]

Hello~ It's my first time baking this recipe (or baking at all) and I just wanted to say thanks for this recipe! I'd been looking for a brownie recipe that could give my partner protein when he goes to the gym instead of the ones that used protein powder and I think this packs a punch! Honestly I didn't have a difficult time with this except for the black beans (first time boiling it and mashing it).

Subbed in regular yoghurt for skyr, honey for maple syrup and low fat milk for milk, and I didn't include the flaxseed meal cuz I didn't have it.

For sweet tooth people, if you're using honey instead of maple syrup, you might want to add more honey instead as the brownie was a lot less sweet - so it might be great for people who prefer less sweet options but if you prefer something a bit more sweet do add more honey!

Please make more high-protein videos. They are literally the best!

[laurenvicker]

Yum, Sasha can't help but churn out another winner. I had a recipe for Black Bean Brownies, but this one looks way better and higher in protein. I'll be buying more Skyr this week and doing my best to let these brownies cool for 2 hours before trying. Thank you so much to our favorite ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐YouTube Chef!😛💖

[saraatppkdotpt]

Thank you for reading and responding to my request for this recipe! Life is better with brownies and so much more healthy with your amazing recipes! Thank you! I'll be making it this week! Thank you 😊

[DiveInbluebucket]

My mouse just made the sound of screeching tires on asphalt!! Wow!! Thank you for this recipe Sasha!! I've had to omit brownies from my diet because it was just overwhelming, but your brownies are packed with ingredients I readily eat. Perfect!!

[fatenfarouk]

I made it with black lentils instead of black beans and it was great .. Thank you for your recipes

[French_Laetitia]

I made those for my son 2nde birthday and it was a hit! He actually helped me. Super easy and so delicious. I also discovered skyr thanks to this video. I just love your channel ❤

[malala]

The unhealthy brownies scare me so much because of the fat and sugar content, so much so that l never succeeded to bake any nice brownie, all of them were a disaster. I can't wait to try your recipe Sasha .
Be blessed.
