Notes

You will have to physically portion and shape the brownies into the muffin tin. The batter is extremely thick(it doesn't pour). Make sure to really press the brownies into the mold so that they hold together once cooked.

Almond butter will work for the protein brownies recipe. However, peanut butter gives the best flavor in my opinion.

Make sure to let the brownies cool completely in the muffin tin, otherwise, they'll break when you take them out!

Sizing differences: they're best made in a silicone mold. A mini muffin tin makes them more "one bite" brownies, and they're a bit denser (versus light and fudgy).

If you make them with silicone molds, there is about 18-22 brownies. In a mini muffin pan, there is more. The nutrition is based on a serving of two brownies (because no one eats just one!).
