Equipment

  • 13x9 baking pan
  • 25 4" skewers

Ingredients
  

For the Brownies:

  • 1 Box of your favorite brownie mix I used Duncan Hines Chewy Fudge
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1/4 cup Milk or Plant Based Milk
  • 2/3 cup Yogurt or Cottage Cheese pureed
  • 5 Scoops of your favorite protein powder
  • 1/2 cup dark or milk chocolate chips I used Lily’s dark chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup Cocoa Powder
  • 3 tablespoons Neutral Oil avocado, vegetable or canola oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

For the Skewers:

  • 1 cup strawberries halved
  • 3 large Bananas sliced ½” thick
  • 25 4-5 ” wooden skewers soaked in warm water for 20 minutes

For the Sweet Dipping Sauce (optional):

  • 3 tablespoons yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons whipped cream ie: reddi whip or cool/tru whip
  • 1 tablespoon fresh mint minced (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F (150°C) and grease a 13x9 inch baking pan or line with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together all ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix!
  • Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle it with chocolate chips.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs. Do not overbake, as the brownies will continue to set as they cool.
  • Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into 80 mini squares.
  • While cooling, chop your fruit and mix the yogurt and whipped cream or cool/tru whip in a small bowl. Sprinkle the sauce with mint (optional) and set aside.
  • Skewer the fruits and brownies alternating the brownie and fruit on each skewer. Dip and enjoy!

Notes

Tips:
  • Freeze the brownies for up to 3 months and defrost when you are ready to skewer and enjoy!
  • If the brownie batter is too thick, add more milk a couple of tablespoons at a time.
