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 thoroughly until the batter is smooth and well blended. Then gently fold in the chocolate chips according to your preference.
- Prepare: Lightly grease a small microwave-safe dish or ramekin to prevent sticking. Pour the prepared batter evenly into the dish, spreading it out to ensure an even cook.
- Microwave: Cook the batter in the microwave. For a soft, lava cake texture, microwave for 90 seconds. For a firmer, more traditional brownie consistency, microwave for 120 seconds.
- Enjoy: Carefully remove the dish from the microwave. Add optional toppings such as nuts, fresh berries, or a drizzle of nut butter to enhance flavor, then dig into your warm, protein-packed brownie!
Notes
- Use a microwave-safe dish to avoid accidents or damage.
- Adjust sweetener type and quantity to suit your taste and dietary needs.
- Substitute dairy Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt to make it vegan (note that this may affect texture).
- For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of salt or vanilla extract to the batter.
- Cooking time may vary depending on your microwave’s wattage; monitor closely to avoid overcooking.
