How To Make Protein Turtle Brownies
Until just recently, I had never made a sugar free caramel sauce, and was shocked at how easy it was!
Begin by melting your butter in a small saucepan over low heat. While it is melting use a whisk to stir the butter, helping it melt more evenly.
Once melted, simply add the sweetener, vanilla, and salt. Boil for 3-5 minutes, stirring the mixture constantly, until the butter and sweetener have begun to brown and the sweeteners have fully dissolved.
Next, add the cream and whisk until you have a smooth caramel sauce. Remove the pan from heat, and let the sauce cool completely before drizzling over your brownies.
While the caramel sauce is cooling, it’s time to make the brownies!
Preheat the oven to 350° Fahrenheit, and grease an 8-inch square baking dish with either olive or avocado oil cooking spray.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, mix together the almond flour, cocoa, Mölk, sweetener, gelatin, baking powder, and salt. Stir using a whisk until everything has been evenly distributed.
Once mixed, add the vanilla, eggs, melted butter, and water to your dry mixture. Mix again until well combined, and you have a smooth, thick batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, and spread it out evenly using a spatula. Sprinkle the chopped pecans on top, then stick the pan in the oven.
Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the middle has set and the edges have begun to pull away from the pan.
Let the brownies cool completely, then drizzle your prepared caramel sauce over the top.
Slice into nine equal pieces, and enjoy!
