Chewy Chocolate Brownies

Wholesome Lee
Chewy brownies anyone? These also happen to be nut-free and flourless!
So funny story how this recipe happened. I ran out of almond flour, and was craving some chocolate brownies. Didn’t have any nut butters either, so decided to improvise. 
The result: these amazing decadent chewy protein brownies Best served warm, with a hot cup of milk.
