High-Protein Skillet Brownie – Help Me Make It Better! 🍫
Last night I baked a high-protein skillet brownie, and while it had a great texture, it wasn’t quite sweet enough for my liking. The hubby. liked it fine!
Of course, I can add more sweetener, but I’d love to hear from you! Do you have a go-to high-protein brownie recipe that’s the perfect balance of sweetness and richness? I’m looking for something I can bake in the oven in a 6-inch skillet. If you have a tried-and-true recipe, drop it in the comments—I’d love to give it a try! 🍫💪
What I Used in My Recipe 🍫
My high-protein skillet brownie was made with a mix of egg, coconut yogurt, cocoa powder, chocolate protein powder, Swerve sweetener, almond flour, baking powder, salt, vanilla, milk, melted butter, and sugar-free chocolate chips.
It baked perfectly in the oven in a cast iron skillet and looked great! To finish it off, I topped it with whipped cream, sugar-free caramel, and chocolate syrup for an extra indulgent touch. 🍫🍯😋
What Went Wrong & What I Liked
The biggest issue for me with the high-protein skillet brownie was the lack of sweetness—it just wasn’t quite as satisfying as I had hoped. I could easily add more sweetener, but I’d love to find a way to get the perfect balance without overdoing it.
Another thing I noticed was that this recipe had more ingredients than I really wanted to mess with. I’d love to simplify it while still keeping the great texture and structure it had after baking. On the plus side, it baked beautifully in the skillet, and the consistency was just right—not too dry, not too dense. Now I just need to tweak it to make it simpler and sweeter! 🍫💪
How I Plan to Test New Versions
I suspect the lack of sweetness was due to using cocoa powder instead of semi-sweet chocolate. Cocoa powder is unsweetened, so it needed more sweetener than I added. Next time I’ll use more Swerve, it’s my favorite artificial sweetener.
Are Sugar-Free Chocolate Chips Worth the Price? 🍫
I used Lily’s no-added-sugar milk chocolate chips in my recipe, and while they’re tasty, they come with a higher price tag. To put it into perspective, here’s a side-by-side comparison of Lily’s vs. Nestlé Toll House Milk Chocolate Chips. The sugar-free option has significantly less sugar, but at almost double the cost per serving, it makes you wonder—is it really worth the trade-off? 🤔
