BROWNIES!
Confession: I’ve got one of the biggest sweet tooths imaginable – I was the kid who regularly had cavities and could easily eat dessert for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Of course as I started making wiser food choices to better align with my wellness goals, a lot of that changed. But that doesn’t mean I do not indulge classic sweets like brownies — I just enjoy them more in calorie-conscious ways!
That’s why I love this recipe for brownies because they combine many of the staple ingredients I eat on a DAILY basis:
- Egg whites
- Nut butter
- Zucchini
You know I’m all about reimagining food and this recipe is exactly that when you look at these 3 core ingredients.
For the egg whites, I use Bob Evans Egg Whites – they’re easy to quickly incorporate into recipes like this. Plus they help boost the protein without significantly adding calories, just the protein! And that’s a win in my (recipe) book.

Steps

In a bowl, mix together the dry ingredients.

In a separate bowl, mix together the wet ingredients. Then fold in the dry ingredients and the zucchini. Fold everything together until well mixed. Fold in the chocolate chips but reserve a few for the top of the brownies.

Step 7
Let the brownies cool for about 10-15 minutes before slicing and devouring!
