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 the ingredients: In a bowl, combine the egg, Greek yogurt, sweetener, cocoa powder, and chocolate protein powder. Stir the mixture until the batter is smooth and well blended. Fold in the chocolate chips to your liking to add extra chocolate bursts.
- Prepare the dish: Lightly grease a small microwave-safe dish or ramekin to prevent sticking. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared dish, spreading it out gently.
- Microwave the brownie: Cook the batter in the microwave for 90 seconds if you prefer a soft, lava cake texture. For a firmer, more traditional brownie consistency, microwave it for 120 seconds. Microwave power can vary, so adjust slightly if needed.
- Serve and enjoy: Carefully remove the dish from the microwave. Add your favorite toppings such as nuts, berries, or a drizzle of nut butter, then dive into your warm, protein-packed, guilt-free brownie!
Notes
- You can substitute the sweetener with honey, maple syrup, or your preferred sugar alternative.
- Adjust microwave cooking times slightly depending on your microwave’s wattage for best results.
- For added texture, try adding chopped nuts or shredded coconut to the batter.
- This recipe works well for a quick snack but is best enjoyed fresh.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheat briefly before eating.
