The Baked by Sticky dessert brand from the [Sticky Fingers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handels-ice-cream-sticky-fingers) bakery in Washington D.C. has announced a new range of dessert options that are packed with plant-based protein to make dessert time more permissible.

The product range includes cookies and brownies that are plant-based in their formulation, which is further supported by the [Just One](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/just-one-protein) mung bean protein powder from [Eat Just](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/just-mayo-and-just-ranch). The cookies feature 10-grams of protein in each serving with the brownies packed with 12-grams, while all of them are vegan-friendly, Kosher and crafted with real food ingredients.

President Doron Petersan spoke on the new Baked by Sticky range saying, "What better way to meet your macros. It’s a cookie that hits like the ones you grew up with, only now it works harder for you. No one should be afraid to enjoy dessert.”
