11. Protein Chocolate Brownies
• 1 cup of Liquid Egg Whites;
• 1 can (200g) of unsalted cooked Black Beans (which you shouldn't be able to taste don't worry!);
• 3/4 cup of Chocolate Protein Powder;
• 1/4 cup of Cocoa;
• 1/4 cup of Agave Syrup, Date Syrup, Honey or Calorie-free Chocolate Sauce;
• 3 tbsp Coconut Flour;
• 5 tbsp Cottage Cheese;
• 1/2 tsp of Baking Soda;
• 1-3 tbsp of Peanut Butter (optional but really nice).
1. Using an immersion blender or food processor, blend all the ingredients together. Bear in mind that what you want to end up with is a thick pancake-like batter. If your batter is too runny, add a tbsp more of coconut flour until it thickens. If it's too thick, add an extra egg white or two.
2. Once your mixture is perfect—smooth and thick, yet pourable—bake it in a small brownie pan at 160 C (320 F) for about 45 minutes to an hour, or until an inserted knife comes out clean.
There are several variations you can make to this recipe:
1. If you don't want to try the black beans, feel free to substitute them with any other moisturizers (sweet potato, beets, pumpkin, cottage cheese, Greek yoghurt, cream cheese, butter beans or adzuki beans). Bear in mind, though, if you use pumpkin puree or cooked sweet potato, you'll probably want to add a bit more coconut flour to thicken your batter (a tablespoon or two should do the job).
2. If you like your brownies extra chocolaty and sweet, add either 1/4 cup of calorie-free chocolate sauce to the mix, or 1/8 cup of Splenda and 1/8 cup of extra cocoa powder.
3. If you want to substitute for the coconut flour, you can. Try ground oats, or a combo of ground oats and ground almonds. You'll probably want to add a lot more than 3 tbsp of either of them to thicken the batter though, so just look at it and add enough until your batter looks like, well, brownie batter.
4. If you want to add an extra element of oomph to the brownies, throw some chopped nuts or dark chocolate chips into the batter before for you bake it!

19. Protein Pumpkin Pie
• 1/2 cup of Ground Almonds;
• 2 1/2 tbsp Sesame Seed, Peanut, or Almond Butter;
• 2 tbsp Agave Syrup or regular Honey (helps bind the almonds with the seed or nut butter).
• 1/2 can (200 g) of Pumpkin Puree;
• 3/4 cup Liquid Egg Whites;
• 1/4 cup Vanilla Whey Protein Powder;
• 1 tsp Toffee Flavouring (optional);
• 1 tsp Cinnamon (optional).
1. Make the base by blending the base ingredients until you get compact dough. Press the dough down into the bottom and along the sides of a pie mould. Remember to use a mould with a removable bottom that allows you to unmold your pie easily.
2. Bake the crust at 360 F (180 C) for 10-15 minutes, and then remove it from the oven. This step is optional, but it ensures your base cooks a bit longer than the pie so it's nice and crusty.
3. Make your filling by blending the filling ingredients together using an immersion blender, regular blender, or food processor. Pour this onto the base.
4. Bake at 320 F (160 C) for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling has cooked through. Be careful not to overbake it. To ensure a creamy centre, remove your pie as soon as it's cooked through—you'll know when an inserted knife comes out clean.
5. Let the pie cool before slicing and enjoy!
If you want to make your pumpkin pies without crust (removing most of the carbs and the fat), bake the filling inside of silicone muffin moulds for 35-40 minutes at 338 F (170 C). Let the muffins cool before uncasing them.
