5 Ingredient Chocolate Cherry Protein Brownies

I’m pretty sure that brownies are my favorite dessert of all time. Top them with ice cream and I’m sold. These 5 Ingredient Chocolate Cherry Protein Brownies are easy to make and low calorie so you can enjoy them without completely blowing your diet.

I use NSA Cherry Pie Filling for this recipe because I usually have a can on hand for when I’m putting together some easy desserts. This is definitely one of the easiest and tastiest. You can even make frosting with the leftover filling by just mixing it with a little cacao powder.

First you’re going to mix all of your dry ingredients together, which is basically the protein powder, cacao powder, and baking powder. Once you’ve got all your dry ingredients mixed well, add the peanut butter and mix until everything is smooth.

For the cherries, you’re going to take them out of the can leaving as much of the filling behind and just taking the cherries. Leave the filling on the side if you are going to use it for frosting. Fold the cherries in with the rest of your ingredients. Once you’ve got everything mixed well, spread the batter into an 8 x 8 prepared pan and bake at 350° for 25 minutes. If anything you want to slightly undercook them so that they stay nice and soft. If you prefer a crispier brownie, bake it for an additional 5-7 minutes.

Now to make the frosting, all you have to do is add 60 grams of the left over pie filling with about 10 grams of cacao powder. I also suggest adding a little liquid Stevia to give it a sweeter taste but not too much. You don’t want to over power the cherry flavor of the frosting.
