Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 1 large large egg The base of this brownie, providing moisture and structure.
- 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt Adds creaminess and a protein boost while keeping the brownie moist.
- 1 tbsp sweetener of choice Choose stevia, monk fruit, or honey for sweetness.
- 3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder The star ingredient that enriches the brownie with chocolate flavor.
- 1 tbsp chocolate protein powder Boosts the protein content.
- 2-3 tbsp sugar-free chocolate chips Optional ingredient for extra chocolate flavor.
Instructions
Preparation
- In a microwave-safe mug or small bowl, crack the large egg and whisk it until smooth.
- Add the plain Greek yogurt and sweetener to the egg and mix thoroughly until completely combined.
- Sift in the cocoa powder and chocolate protein powder to avoid lumps, then stir until you have a thick batter. Add a teaspoon of water if it's too thick.
- If using, fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips and press a few extra chips on top.
- Place your mug in the microwave and cook on high power for approximately 60-90 seconds until set but still soft in the center.
- Allow your brownie to cool for a few moments before enjoying.
Notes
Measure accurately for the best results, customize sweetness to taste, keep an eye on the microwave to avoid overcooking, and consider adding vanilla extract or chopped nuts for extra flavor and texture.
