Food should be fun. We did just that with our Protein Double Chocolate/Maple Chocolate Chip Brookie Recipe. It is not the most macro friendly recipe on the internet; we fully admit that. However, it will be one of the most delicious.
The Protein Double Chocolate/Maple Chocolate Chip Brookie is exactly what it sounds like: chocolate chip cookie and brownie together as one. We incorporated GHOST's Vegan Protein Pancake Batter flavor (use coupon code INFORMANT to save 20%) in this recipe to give it added protein and flavor.
If you're vegan and looking to make this recipe, just make sure that your chocolate chips do not contain dairy. You may have to substitute the M&Ms for a different topping as well. You also want to substitute the egg for something like a chia egg recipe.
For those of you who are not vegan, knock yourself out with this recipe. Heck, add more toppings if you want for bulking season! (OK you don't have too, but this is a fun recipe so explore!)
If you're looking to substitute GHOST's Vegan Protein you can look into it, but whey has a different consistency and when baked it's denatured.
We said it wasn't super macro friendly, but it is not on a level of a #physiquedestroyer. If you feel like cheating, but not going all the way, this recipe is a mouth watering selection.
