Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup Greek yogurt (can use Greek-style dairy-free yogurt)
- 1 tbsp sweetener of choice (monkfruit, coconut sugar, maple syrup, honey, etc.)
- 3 tbsp cocoa powder or cacao powder
- 1 tbsp chocolate protein powder (such as Truvani Chocolate Protein)
- Chocolate chips (quantity as desired, e.g., 2 tbsp)
Instructions
- Mix ingredients: In a small bowl, combine the egg, Greek yogurt, sweetener, cocoa powder, and chocolate protein powder. Stir until the batter is smooth and well blended. Then fold in the chocolate chips evenly.
- Prepare microwave dish: Lightly grease a small microwave-safe dish or glass food storage container to prevent sticking. Pour the batter into the dish and smooth out the top for even cooking.
- Microwave the brownie: Microwave on high for 90 seconds if you want a molten lava cake texture with a gooey center. For a more firm and baked consistency, microwave in 10-second increments up to 120 seconds until your desired doneness is reached.
- Add toppings and serve: Once cooked, add your favorite toppings such as extra Greek yogurt, peanut butter, chocolate chips, whipped cream, ice cream, or fresh berries. Enjoy immediately for a warm, indulgent treat.
Notes
- Use a microwave-safe dish that is small enough to make a single serving.
- Adjust sweetness and cocoa powder to taste depending on your preference.
- Chocolate protein powder brands vary; opt for a clean ingredient list for the healthiest option.
- You can substitute Greek yogurt with a dairy-free yogurt to make it vegan-friendly, but note the protein content may differ.
- Microwave powers vary; watch your brownie closely to prevent overcooking.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator and reheat briefly in the microwave.
