FAQs
My favorite flavor combinations for this recipe are chocolate chip cookie, matcha, double chocolate brownie and lemon blueberry. See recipe card for add-in instructions.
Use a ramekin and divide the recipe by four. You can also divide the whole recipe between four ramekins and try out different flavor combinations.
I used vegan protein powder to increase the protein. You may also consider adding eggs or egg whites to increase protein.
I have not tested this recipe with eggs therefore cannot comment on what the final product will be like.
You could also top it with Greek yogurt to make them even more high protein.
