Recipe for delicious sugar-free double chocolate protein brownies:
# 1 Cup Splenda
# 6 tablespoons margarine, softened (i use brummel & brown)
# 3/4 Cup flour ( I used soy flour, 21 grams of protein)( You can use all-purpose flour but you will have less protein)
# 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
# 2 eggs (6grams of protein)
# 6 Tablespoons Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
# 1/2 Cup applesauce (i used canned pumpkin & they were so much better!!)
# 1/2 Cup Semi-Sweet or Sugar Free Chocolate Chips
# 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
# 1 teaspoon Sugar Free Da Vinci Syrup (didn't have this on hand so i used 1 tsp milk)
# 1 1/2 scoops of Vanilla protein ( 78 grams of protein)(i used chocolate here)

Preheat oven to 350. Spray an 8x8 glass baking dish or a 12 cup muffin tin with pam.

In a large bowl, combine flour, splenda, cocoa powder, baking soda and protein powder. Stir till blended. In another bowl, combine margarine, applesauce, eggs, vanilla extract & SF vanilla syrup.

Mix well and then stir into flour mixture. Blend well. Add the chocolate chips and nuts. Mix well and spread batter in 8x8 glass dish or muffin tin. Bake for 15 to 20 mins. ( Mine were done in 15 mins.) Check with toothpick in the middle after 15mins. If not done let them cook another 5 mins. (DO NOT OVERBAKE THESE-THEY WILL NOT BE MOIST!!!)
