Tips for Coconut Flour Powder Powder Brownie Recipe

These coconut flour protein brownies are really easy to make, but here’s some tips to get them right!

Use room temperature milk, yogurt and egg;
This is so the wet ingredients and dry ingredients can mix well to give the perfect low carb coconut flour brownies.

Use Drippy Tahini also so that it mixes well into the batter.

Don’t over-mix the batter!
Make sure you gently fold the dry mix into the wet to combine them.
If you over-mix it, the protein powder will make the low carb protein brownies tough, dense and gummy.

Taste the batter and see if you need some extra sweetener. I’d recommend using stevia powder to maintain the consistency of the batter and have a healthy coconut flour protein brownies with no sugar.

Don’t over-bake the cake bars or they might get tough; Remove when the tester/knife comes out just dry; Little moisture is okay.

To freeze the coconut flour protein powder brownie, freeze individually first on baking sheet, then wrap pieces in plastic wrap and place in freezer-safe zipper bags or air tight container; They should keep for 2-3 months.
