Breakfast Protein Brownie Recipe

Breakfast can be such a hard thing to plan and prepare. It is especially hard when you are trying to be healthy in your diet choices. Eggs and oatmeal can only be enjoyed so many times, and after a while, it gets boring... If you need some new inspiration for breakfast, you've come to the right place!

This brownie tastes just like a real brownie and is perfect for crushing those sugar cravings! Topped with walnuts and coconut to add extra protein and flavor kick! This recipe is so good for those busy mornings when you need to grab and go! I always make a big batch, (usually double the recipe), and keep the rest in the fridge so I can eat it for breakfast later. Leftovers are good cold, or heated up in the microwave to make it oh-so-gooey!!

This recipe has become my go-to breakfast choice throughout the week and is perfect for a reboot after my morning workouts. This brownie is packed with protein and is so delicious, you can't even tell that it is healthy!
