Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 egg
  • 1/3 cup Greek yogurt

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp cocoa powder (or cacao)
  • 1 tbsp chocolate protein powder
  • 1 tbsp sweetener of choice (e.g., stevia, erythritol, sugar, maple syrup)

Add-ins

  • Chocolate chips (add as many as you like!)

Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the egg, Greek yogurt, sweetener, cocoa powder, and chocolate protein powder. Stir until the batter is smooth and fully integrated, then fold in the chocolate chips for extra chocolatey goodness.
  2. Prepare Dish: Lightly grease a small microwave-safe dish or mug to prevent sticking. Pour the batter evenly into the dish.
  3. Microwave Cooking: Microwave the mixture for 90 seconds if you prefer a gooey, lava cake-like texture. For a firmer, more traditional brownie consistency, microwave up to 120 seconds. Cooking time may vary slightly depending on your microwave’s wattage.
  4. Add Toppings and Serve: Once cooked, carefully remove from the microwave and add any toppings you like—such as nuts, extra chocolate chips, or a dusting of powdered sweetener. Enjoy immediately while warm.

Notes

  • Microwave wattage varies; adjust cooking time accordingly to avoid overcooking.
  • Use protein powder flavors and sweeteners based on personal preference and dietary needs.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute Greek yogurt with a thick plant-based yogurt.
  • Adding extra chocolate chips creates a richer texture and taste.
  • This recipe is best enjoyed fresh from the microwave for optimal texture.
