TO THE HEALTHY BROWNIE COOKBOOK!

Yes, HEALTHY brownies!


Unfortunately, desserts and treats such as brownies are often associated with guilt or “cheating” on one’s diet. The best part about
this cookbook is that all of the recipes are healthy enough to eat daily – as a dessert, an afternoon snack, or even for breakfast!

I tried to cover any questions you may have in the “Ingredients + Substitutions” section on the next page. If you have more specific
questions that are not answered, the best way to contact me is by email at sarahlynnfitness@gmail.com.

I hope you enjoy these recipes as much as I do!


With Love & Healthy Brownies,

Sarah

PROTEIN POWDER

I use SLAP! Nutrition whey protein powder. Slap Nutrition whey is a cold processed, micro-filtered whey protein isolate that is very
high quality and easily digestible. It has a short ingredient list and it is naturally sweetened with stevia. The nutritional breakdown
for one scoop is about 100 calories with negligible fat or carbs, and 24 grams of protein. Slap protein comes in a variety of
delicious flavors, including Creamy Vanilla, Birthday Cake, Molten Chocolate, Cinnamon Streusel, and Chocolate Peanut Butter.
My favorite flavors for the brownie and blondie recipes are the Vanilla and Molten Chocolate flavors because they are very
versatile – vanilla can be used in all blondie recipes, and chocolate can be used in all brownie recipes, even if a different flavor
is suggested. While I highly recommend the Molten Chocolate flavor for the brownie recipes, as it adds a very rich, delicious
chocolate flavor, vanilla protein can also be used in the brownie recipes.

If you would like to try Slap protein powder or any other Slap Nutrition products, you may use the discount code SARAH for 10%
off at www.WeSlap.com.

My recommendation for a dairy-free/vegan protein powder is called Yep, It’s Vegan. This protein powder is a blend of pea and
rice protein, and it is naturally sweetened with stevia. Using the vegan protein will result in a slightly denser texture than the whey
protein, but it is still absolutely delicious! One scoop is 120 calories (34 g) 2 g of fat, 2 g of carbs, and 25 g of protein. It truly
has the best flavor and texture of any vegan protein powder I have tried. You may also use my discount code SARAH for 10% off
at www.YepItsVegan.com.

Other brands of whey protein or a whey + casein blend will also work in the recipes. I recommend these two types of protein for
optimal results, however you may also experiment using other types of protein. Certain types of protein may change the texture
and/or flavor of the recipe.

I have not had good luck omitting the protein powder from the recipes, and I do not recommend it. If you do omit the protein
powder from the recipe, I recommend decreasing the milk/water in the recipe by 2 Tablespoons per scoop of protein called for,
and adding 1-2 Tablespoons of coconut flour. You may also need to add extra flavor extract and/or sweetener to taste.

TYPES OF FLOUR

COCONUT FLOUR: I use Bob’s Red Mill or Anthony’s Goods coconut flour, but any brand of coconut flour will work. Coconut
flour has a very unique texture, and there is no other flour that I know of that can be used as a one-for-one replacement.

OAT FLOUR: Oat flour is oatmeal ground into a fine flour. You can make your own by blending oats in a blender or food
processor. Measure after blending. Make sure to purchase oats or oat flour that are labeled as gluten-free if you need the recipes
to be gluten-free. I use Bob’s Red Mill gluten-free quick oats. Bob’s Red Mill also makes a pre-blended gluten-free oat flour.

STARCH: I use Bob’s Red Mill arrowroot starch, but you may also use tapioca starch, potato starch, or corn starch.

DAIRY FREE SUBSITUTIONS

PROTEIN POWDER: Please see the first section on the previous page for details on my dairy-free protein powder
recommendation.

GREEK YOGURT: I use Fage 0% plain Greek yogurt. If yogurt is used in a brownie, blondie, cake, or cookie, I recommend
substituting with an equivalent amount of applesauce. In the frosting recipes, I recommend substituting the yogurt with dairy-free
cream cheese, dairy-free yogurt, full-fat canned coconut cream, or even silken tofu. If using yogurt, I recommend using Coyo
brand coconut yogurt or So Delicious brand Greek coconut yogurt. If you use a different dairy free yogurt that is not as thick as
Greek yogurt, you may need to decrease the liquid added to the recipe.

CREAM CHEESE: Cream cheese can be substituted with any dairy-free cream cheese alternative. I have had success using Tofutti
and Kite Hill Foods brands, but other brands will also work.

8
GRAIN FREE SUBSITUTIONS

You may substitute the all-purpose flour and oat flour with either cassava flour or almond flour. Using almond flour will result in a
slightly crumblier texture.

NUT FREE SUBSITUTIONS

Almond flour may be substituted with oat flour or gluten-free all-purpose flour. In frosting recipes, powdered peanut butter may
be substituted with sunflower seed butter – if you do this, only add additional liquid slowly as needed. All nut butters can be
substituted with sunflower seed butter, coconut butter, palm shortening, or other preferred alternative.

SWEETENERS

BAKING STEVIA: I use Stevia in the Raw baking stevia which is a 1:1 ratio for sugar in terms of sweetness. Other brands of
baking stevia will also work. You may substitute stevia with other granulated sweeteners if you prefer. I have not listed the weight
in grams for stevia, as it varies greatly across brands. Sweeten to taste.

STEVIA PACKETS: Occasionally I use stevia packets for convenience because they are easy to add one or two to a recipe, and
they also tend to have a smoother texture than baking stevia, which is ideal for smooth frosting recipes. I use PureVia brand of
stevia packets. One stevia packet is equivalent in sweetness to two teaspoons of sugar. One stevia packet can be replaced with
two teaspoons of Stevia in the Raw or any other granulated sweetener.

MAPLE SYRUP: Pure maple syrup is an unrefined liquid sweetener. You may substitute it with other liquid sweeteners such as
honey.

COCONUT PALM SUGAR: Coconut palm sugar is an unrefined, low-glycemic brown sugar substitute made from coconut palm
sap. It is available in most grocery stores. You may substitute it with regular brown sugar or a different unrefined brown sugar
substitute such as maple sugar or date sugar.

OVENS

All ovens vary, so always keep an eye on your brownies while baking. Baking time can be varied depending if you prefer a more
fudgy or cakey brownie – bake for less time to achieve a fudgier texture. I have had success baking many of these recipes in my
toaster oven as well as the regular oven.

FROSTING/STORAGE

Brownies can be frosted and stored covered in the refrigerator. Enjoy within 3-4 days for freshness. Brownies can also be frozen
and de-frosted to enjoy at a later date.

NUTRITONAL INFORMATION/MACROS

The nutritional information provided for each recipe is for one serving, not including frosting or other add-ons in the photos,
unless specified. Nutritional information for the frosting is listed separately from the desserts, to allow you to mix-and-match
recipes and toppings. F stands for grams of fat, C stands for grams of carbohydrates, and P stands for grams of protein.
