The image shows a square glass dish filled with a layered dessert. The bottom layer is dark brown, smooth and creamy, likely chocolate. On top of this is a thick white creamy layer covering the whole surface. Swirled over the white layer is a caramel-colored sauce creating a wavy pattern. Scattered on top are small round dark chocolate pieces. A spoon is placed inside the dish with some dessert scooped up, and a woman's hand is holding the spoon.

Ingredients

1 egg
⅓ cup Greek yogurt
1 tbsp sweetener of choice (e.g., stevia, erythritol, or honey)
3 tbsp cocoa powder or cacao powder
1 tbsp chocolate protein powder
Chocolate chips (as many as you like!)

Instructions

Step 1: In a bowl, combine the egg, Greek yogurt, sweetener, cocoa powder, and chocolate protein powder. Stir until the batter is smooth and well blended. Then fold in the chocolate chips to your liking.
Step 2: Lightly grease a small microwave-safe dish or ramekin to prevent sticking. Pour the batter evenly into the dish.
Step 3: Cook the batter in the microwave for 90 seconds if you prefer a soft, lava cake texture, or for 120 seconds if you want a firmer, more traditional brownie consistency.
Step 4: Remove carefully from the microwave. Add your favorite toppings such as nuts, berries, or a drizzle of nut butter, and enjoy your warm, protein-packed brownie!

Tips & Variations

Use different sweeteners like maple syrup or agave for a unique flavor.
Try adding a pinch of cinnamon or a drop of vanilla extract for extra warmth.
Swap chocolate protein powder for vanilla or unflavored protein powder if preferred.
For a dairy-free option, use coconut yogurt instead of Greek yogurt.

Storage

This protein brownie is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, microwave for 20-30 seconds until warmed through. Avoid overcooking during reheating to maintain its moist texture.

How to Serve

A clear glass square dish holds a layered dessert with three visible layers: a base layer of dark brown chocolate cake, a thick middle layer of creamy white whipped topping, and a top layer swirled with caramel sauce and scattered with round chocolate chips. A spoon is inserted on the right side, lifting some of the dessert, showing the dense cake beneath. The background is a white marbled surface. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I make this brownie in a conventional oven?

Yes, you can bake it in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 12-15 minutes, but the microwave method is much quicker and yields a similar texture.

Can I add nuts or dried fruit to the batter?

Absolutely! Adding chopped nuts or dried fruit can enhance the texture and flavor. Just fold them in with the chocolate chips before microwaving.
