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 Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the egg, Greek yogurt, sweetener, cocoa powder, and chocolate protein powder until the batter is smooth and well blended. Then fold in the chocolate chips to your liking, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
- Prepare Dish: Lightly grease a small microwave-safe dish or ramekin to prevent the brownie from sticking. Pour the prepared batter evenly into the dish, smoothing the top gently with a spatula.
- Microwave Cooking: Cook the batter in the microwave for 90 seconds if you prefer a soft, molten lava cake-like texture. For a firmer, more traditional brownie consistency, microwave for 120 seconds. Microwaves may vary, so adjust times accordingly if needed.
- Serve and Enjoy: Carefully remove the dish from the microwave as it will be hot. Add your favorite toppings such as nuts, fresh berries, or a drizzle of nut butter for extra flavor and texture. Serve warm and enjoy your protein-packed, guilt-free brownie!
Notes
- Use a microwave-safe dish to ensure safety during cooking.
- You can customize the sweetness by adjusting the amount or type of sweetener.
- For vegan options, substitute the egg and Greek yogurt with suitable plant-based alternatives.
- Adding extras like chopped nuts or seeds can increase protein and add crunch.
- Microwave wattage varies, so watch closely the first time you try to avoid overcooking.
