What are Flourless Brownies made of? The Ingredients:

Here’s what makes this No-Flour Brownie with High Protein so special:

For the Brownie:

• Catalina Crunch Dark Chocolate Cereal – The secret ingredient that replaces flour while adding fiber and a delicious crunch. Here’s the link!
• Chocolate Protein Powder – Boosts protein, provides sweetness all while enhancing the deep chocolate flavor. This chocolate protein powder from Quest Nutrition is what I use.
• Cocoa Powder – Adds chocolatey richness without extra sugar or fat.
• Baking Powder – Helps the brownie rise and stay soft.
• Unsweetened Almond Milk – Adds moisture while keeping the brownie recipe low-calorie and dairy-free.
• Unsweetened Applesauce – A natural substitute for butter and oil, keeping the brownie soft and moist.
• Egg White – Adds structure and additional protein while keeping the brownie light.

For the Frosting:

• Chocolate Protein Powder – Used again to create a high-protein frosting! I use the same one from Quest Nutrition.
• Cocoa Powder – Enhances the chocolate flavor of the frosting.
• Almond Milk – Used to adjust the consistency of the frosting.
• Valentine’s Sprinkles (Optional) – A fun decorative touch!

Alternative Ingredients for Protein Brownie with no Flour

Want to customize your Healthy Brownie Recipe with Cereal Instead of Flour? Here are some great swaps:

• Cereal Alternatives: Instead of Catalina Crunch, try chocolate cheerios, cocoa kripies, or even cocoa puffs.
  A high fiber cereal would also work well. 
• Protein Powder Variations: Swap chocolate for vanilla, cookies & cream, or peanut butter protein powder.
  Be sure to add a little extra cocoa powder in this case for that rich chocolate flavor.
• Milk Substitutes: Use oat, cashew, coconut, or dairy milk instead of almond milk.
• Unsweetened Applesauce: Feel free to use mashed banana or pumpkin puree, but this will alter the flavor of the brownie a little.
• Sweetener Options: If you prefer a sweeter brownie, add monk fruit, stevia, or sugar-free syrup.

• Frosting Variation: Replace protein powder with sugar-free melted chocolate, chocolate spread, or even nut butter for a different texture.

How can I make this Brownie with Cereal Recipe Vegan?

To make this cereal brownie vegan, you’ll need to make a few simple substitutions:

• Whey-Casein Protein Powder: Replace this with a plant-based protein powder. Be sure to choose one that you enjoy the flavor of, as it will significantly impact the overall taste of the cake. I recommend is KOS or Truvani.

I also recommend adding a bit of vanilla extract and sweetener in this case since plant based protein powders have a different earthy taste.

• Cereal: The cereal I recommended is Vegan so no issues there, but make sure that whatever alternative you use in this brownies plant based.
  
• Sprinkles: Be sure to use sprinkles that are plant-based.

How to Make Flourless Protein Brownie for 2

This flourless protein brownie for 2 is very easy to make with one bowl and one ramekin! No complicated steps at all. Here’s what it takes:

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a large ramekin. This prevents sticking and helps the brownie bake evenly.

Step 2: Blend the Dry Ingredients

In a blender, combine the Catalina Crunch cereal, chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, and baking powder. Blend until the cereal is finely ground, resembling a flour-like consistency. Transfer to a bowl.

Step 3: Mix the Wet Ingredients

Add the almond milk, applesauce, and egg white to the dry ingredients. Stir gently until the batter is smooth and thick.
Taste the batter; If you like your brownies sweeter, add a touch of stevia or monk fruit sweetener. I recommend these to make a sugar free and low calorie recipe.

Step 4: Bake the Brownie

Pour the cereal brownie batter into the prepared ramekin and bake for 22 minutes. The top should be set but still slightly soft in the center. Let it cool slightly before frosting.

Step 5: Make the Protein Frosting

In a small bowl, mix the chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, and almond milk (adding the milk a little at a time) until a thick, spreadable consistency is reached.
You might need to add more or less milk depending on what protein powder brand you use, so start with only a little milk.

Step 6: Frost & Enjoy!

Once the brownie has cooled slightly, spread the frosting evenly over the top. Decorate with Valentine’s sprinkles if desired. Now, grab a spoon and dig in!

Storage Instructions

Since this is a protein brownie for 2, you likely won’t have leftovers! But if you do:

• Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat in the microwave for a few seconds to restore the fudgy texture.
• Freezer: Wrap the protein brownie for 2 in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.

An important note: Make sureyou use an airtight container so the brownie doesn’t pick up odors from the fridge or get freezer burn in the freezer!

Recipe Tips for the Best Flourless Brownies with Cereal

• Blending is Key: Make sure the cereal is blended into a fine flour-like texture for a smooth batter.
• Adjust Sweetness to Taste: If you prefer a sweeter brownie, add stevia, monk fruit, or sugar-free syrup to the batter.
• Don’t Overbake: The key to a fudgy brownie is baking until just set. If overbaked, the brownie may turn dry.
• Be Careful with the Frosting! Too much milk added at once will make the frosting too runny. You can fix it with extra protein powder, but it would be better to just start off with less milk.
• Customize the Frosting: If you want a richer frosting, try mixing in nut butter or Greek yogurt for added creaminess.
