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 a sugar-free sweetener like erythritol for a lower-calorie option, or honey for a natural sweetness.
Try adding chopped nuts or shredded coconut for extra texture and flavor.
For a vegan version, substitute the egg with a flax egg and use a plant-based yogurt and protein powder.

Storage

This protein brownie is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat briefly in the microwave for about 20 seconds before serving to regain its warm, gooey texture.

How to Serve

The image shows a square glass dish filled with a dessert. The bottom layer is dark chocolate cake or brownie, topped evenly with a thick white whipped cream layer. On top of the whipped cream, there are swirls of light brown caramel sauce spread in a loose spiral pattern. Scattered over the caramel and whipped cream are many small round chocolate chips. A spoon is placed on the right side in the dish, partially scooping some dessert, showing the dark chocolate and white layers inside. The dish is set on a white marbled surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use regular protein powder instead of chocolate protein powder?

Yes, you can use any protein powder you have on hand. Just keep in mind that the flavor will be less chocolatey if you don’t use chocolate protein powder, so you might want to add a little extra cocoa powder.

What if I don’t have a microwave?

You can bake the mixture in a small oven-safe dish at 350°F (175°C) for about 10–12 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
