Peanut Butter Protein Swirl Brownies

Baking

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare an 8-inch by 8-inch baking pan by coating with cooking spray.

2. 2

   Into a blender or food processor, add garbanzo beans, eggs, cocoa powder, coconut sugar, salt, peanut butter, vanilla, and whey protein. Blend the ingredients until smooth. Transfer brownie batter to a medium bowl.

3. 3

   Using either a microwave or double boiler on the stove, gently stir the chocolate until melted. Stirring constantly, slowly pour the melted chocolate into the brownie batter. Use a spatula to evenly spread into the prepared pan. Set aside.

4. 4

   In a small bowl, add the topping ingredients and mix to combine. Pour topping over the brownie batter. Gently drag the tip of a knife through the mixture to create brownie swirls.

5. 5

   Bake brownies until topping is set and edges are golden brown, about 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool slightly and cut into 10 pieces. Store in an airtight container.
