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 for a soft, lava cake texture, or for 120 seconds if you prefer a firmer, more traditional brownie consistency.
Step 4: Carefully remove from the microwave. Add your favorite toppings such as nuts, berries, or a drizzle of nut butter, then enjoy your warm, protein-packed brownie!

Tips & Variations

Use flavored protein powder like vanilla or mocha to add an extra twist on the classic chocolate flavor.
For a dairy-free version, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt.
Try adding a pinch of cinnamon or instant coffee powder to deepen the flavor.
If you want extra gooey chocolate, add more chocolate chips on top before microwaving.

Storage

Store any leftover brownie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the microwave for 20-30 seconds before enjoying. For best texture, it’s recommended to eat it fresh.

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

Can I use any kind of protein powder?

Yes, you can use your preferred protein powder, but chocolate-flavored or unflavored protein powders work best to complement the brownie’s taste.

What if I don’t have a microwave?
