So this one was a total flop. It was basically the same recipe as the Oreo protein brownie I made earlier, just with red food coloring. I didn’t realize that red velvet is essentially chocolate with red coloring, no wonder it tasted so similar! The dessert itself wasn’t bad for the macros, but overall I thought it was just okay this time. The flavor wasn’t great because it was a bit dry, and honestly, you get tired of it quickly. I know that’s kind of how most protein desserts are, though. At the time, I was trying to cut calories but still wanted to bake something I could eat without guilt. Maybe I just haven’t found the right protein dessert yet, but so far, I haven’t really loved any of them. Another issue I ran into was with the pan size. I didn’t realize I was supposed to use a long baking pan so that I could roll the cake up. I used a square pan instead, which made the cake thicker and harder to roll. When I tried, it just wasn’t working, so I gave up and turned it into another brownie instead. I’ll give this recipe 3 out of 5 cactuses, mainly because it’s a protein dessert and the mistake was on my part. They always look amazing in the videos, but somehow ours always turn out a little different.
