On this busy afternoon, my kids are FINALLY taking a nap. It’s been a crazy day already, and it’s not even noon.
At last. I have an hour to myself, and can create something delicious and healthy for this beautiful Spring day!
We all love brownies… Me especially! But it’s easy to eat 2-3 too many (or a whole pan, in complete honesty) without feeling close to full. I decided to create a protein-packed alternate to my favorite brownie recipe!
Holy goodness.
It turned out so moist, and 1 bar is completely filling. Plus, the protein makes this treat a little less guilt ridden. Check out this awesome recipe!

- 1/4 cup flour

Directions
In large bowl, mix dry ingredients (flour, oats, whey, baking powder, coconut, cocoa, cranberries).
