Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 scoop (about 30g) chocolate protein powder
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon almond flour (or oat flour)
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons milk of choice
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
- 1 tablespoon nut butter (like almond or peanut butter)
Optional
- 1 tablespoon dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a microwave-safe mug or small bowl, mix together the chocolate protein powder, unsweetened cocoa powder, almond flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt until well blended.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the milk, maple syrup or honey, and nut butter to the dry mix. Keep stirring until a thick, smooth batter forms with no lumps.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: If using, gently fold in the dark chocolate chips to add extra richness and texture to your brownie batter.
- Microwave the Brownie: Place the mug or bowl in the microwave and cook on high for 45 to 60 seconds. Keep an eye on it and stop when the brownie has risen and the center is just set to avoid overcooking.
- Cool and Serve: Let the brownie cool for about a minute to set slightly, then enjoy warm straight from the mug or bowl.
Notes
- Microwave cooking times can vary; check after 45 seconds to prevent overcooking.
- For extra flavor, add a splash of vanilla extract or sprinkle sea salt on top before serving.
- You can substitute almond flour with oat flour for a different texture or dietary preference.
- Use your preferred milk type, such as dairy, almond, or oat milk, to suit your dietary needs.
