Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Batter
- 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
- Mix – 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 gently fold in the chocolate chips to your liking.
- Prepare – Lightly grease a small microwave-safe dish or ramekin to prevent sticking. Pour the batter evenly into the dish.
- Microwave – 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.
- Enjoy! – Remove carefully from the microwave. Add your favorite toppings such as nuts, berries, or a drizzle of nut butter, and dive into your warm, protein-packed brownie!
Notes
- Adjust the sweetener type and amount to your preference to control sweetness and calories.
- Use a microwave-safe dish that fits your portion size to ensure even cooking.
- For a dairy-free variation, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt, and ensure the protein powder is suitable for your dietary needs.
- Adding nuts or seeds can increase the protein content and add a crunchy texture.
- Watch the cooking time closely to avoid overcooking which can dry out the brownie.
