Protein (USN Raw Pro) Brownies (Vegan & Gluten Free)
I've teamed up with the amazing brand USN to bring to you a recipe for a delicious, healthy, protein-packed alternative to brownies. USN sent me their vegan chocolate protein and it has to be one of the best I have tried! It's suitable for vegetarians and vegans, and comes in both chocolate and vanilla flavour. These brownies only use natural sweeteners, USN's delicious vegan protein powder, and of course, absolutely no flour; making them fudgier and more gooey than ever.. you're seriously going to LOVE these.

- Pulse again if there's any bits or lumps left
- Spoon this into the lined brownie tin and smooth over with a spatula
