Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 scoop chocolate protein powder (or your preferred flavor)
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 2 tbsp almond flour (or oat flour)
- Pinch of salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 tbsp sweetener (stevia, monk fruit, or honey)
- 2 tbsp milk (or non-dairy alternative)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Optional
- 1 tbsp chocolate chips for extra indulgence
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: Combine all the dry ingredients — cocoa powder, protein powder, baking powder, almond flour, and salt — in a microwave-safe mug or bowl.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the sweetener, milk, and vanilla extract until the batter is smooth and well combined. If you like, gently fold in the optional chocolate chips for an extra indulgent touch.
- Microwave Cooking: Place the mug or bowl in the microwave and cook on high for 1–2 minutes. Begin checking at 1 minute to avoid overcooking. The brownie is ready when it has risen and the center is set but still moist.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the brownie to cool for 1–2 minutes before enjoying. You can serve it plain or top with your favorite additions like Greek yogurt, peanut butter, or extra chocolate chips for enhanced flavor.
Notes
- Check the microwave early to avoid a dry brownie.
- Substitute almond flour with oat flour for a different texture.
- Use a non-dairy milk if you prefer a vegan option.
- Adjust sweetness to taste by varying the amount or type of sweetener.
- For a dairy-free version, use plant-based milk and sweeteners.
