The culinary geniuses behind Panaceas Pantry have tasted our organic vanilla pea protein powder and loved it. So, they created a fantastic vegan brownie recipe with it. So decadent and morish but still healthy. Yes, we definitely recommend it as a Christmas treat for your friends, and yourself!

- ¾ cup (90g) plain flour
- 1 cup (80g) scoop of Go Good Vanilla Pea Protein Powder

- 2 Tbsp (20mL) chickpea flour
- ½ tsp baking powder

DIRECTIONS
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees C and line an 8 inch sure tine with baking paper.
- Sift dry ingredients (the top 6 ingredients listed) into a large mixing bowl, combine well and set aside.
- Add wet ingredients (dates, sugar, oil and milk) to a blender and blitz until smooth (you can use a stick blender for this, if you prefer). Pour mix into the dry ingredients bowl and mix to combine. Stir through pecans then transfer mix to the lined baking tray. Use damp hands to smooth out the top.
