I wanted a protein brownie bite that stayed soft and rich in the center instead of turning dry and tight after baking. What helped most was treating these as brownie bites, not just tiny brownies, because the smaller shape changes how quickly they set and dry out.

Tips

Tips That Matter
I found that the biggest texture fix was pulling them a little earlier than feels comfortable, because brownie bites lose fudginess fast if you wait for them to look fully firm.
