Ooey Gooey Lazy Protein Brownies

Sometimes you just want something sweet but you don’t want to completely blow your diet or bake from scratch to make the cleanest recipe. That’s why I love my super lazy, semi-homemade, ooey gooey, protein packed vegan brownies! And you will too!

• 1 box Simple Mills Almond Flour Brownie Mix (use any mix of choice but I used this one as it was gluten free and a good source of protein)
• 3/4 can of pureed pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling, pureed pumpkin only)
• 1/4 cup sunbutter (sunflower butter)
• 2 tablespoons vegan butter, melted
• 1 tub of vegan chocolate frosting (I used Miss Jones Organic Chocolate Frosting)

Preheat oven per instructions on the box. Prepare/grease brownie tin.

Mix all ingredients until brownie batter is smooth and spread evenly into prepared brownie pan.

Bake per instructions on the box.

Remove and allow to cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes.

Evenly spread the frosting, allow to set for another 15 minutes or so (the coconut oil based frosting will melt a bit from the heat so it’s best to let the whole pan cool completely before cutting and serving)

Cut into squares and enjoy!
