Notes

The kind of protein powder you choose will make a difference to the texture and flavor of the edible brownie batter. See the blog post for more of a breakdown.
Make sure the butter is melted before adding it into the batter so that it mixes evenly.
As is, the recipe is sweet but not too sweet (and it will depend a bit on your protein powder). If you have a sweet tooth, add in ½ tbs of cane sugar to the mixture.
Make the recipe to eat immediately as it does not store in the fridge (it gets too hard and crusty).
Makes one single-serve portion or two "brownie batter shots" portions. Nutrition is based on one.

Troubleshooting to get thick, scoopable brownie batter:

Too thick? Add more yogurt 1 tablespoon at a time
Too thin? Add more protein powder slowly.
Too bitter? Add more maple syrup or a bit of cane sugar.

Protein powder considerations:

If using vegan protein powder, scale the flour back to one tablespoon and add in one tablespoon of maple syrup.
Equip protein creates a stickier brownie batter than Paleo Pro. You need the flour to thicken and bulk it up. There's not much sweetener added as Equip protein tends to be ultra-sweet.
