Healthy Chocolate Pecan Toffee Fudge Brownie Batter
My oh my, it’s been a while, I haven’t made brownie batter in months! I blame the death of my Magic Bullet… or maybe the fact that I never have self control around a giant bowl of fudgy, chocolatey, secretly healthy goodness. Plus, I wanted to use my toffee flavoring in something else other than coffee for once. Toffee coffee? Yeah, that’s another thing I have no self control around…
Brownie Batter Pros:
- tastes unhealthy, sinful, rich, amazing, decadent, and so on…
- defines the true essence of chocolate, pecans and yummy buttery toffee
- full of healthy fats, fiber and protein
- limited in sugar and sodium
- so incredibly easy to make
Brownie Batter Cons:
- has a tendency to disappear before your eyes…

Is this dairy free?
The recipe calls for whey protein, so no, this isn’t dairy free.
