- Equipment
Instructions
Mix the Batter
- In a small bowl, I whisk 1 egg, 2 tbsp Greek yogurt, 1 tbsp monkfruit sweetener, 1 tbsp cocoa powder, and 2 tbsp chocolate protein powder until smooth. I fold in 1 tbsp chocolate chips for extra richness in this fudgy protein dessert.
Prepare the Dish
- I lightly grease a small microwave-safe dish (like a 4x4-inch glass container) to prevent sticking for this chocolate protein snack.
Microwave the Brownie
- I pour the batter into the dish, smoothing the top. I microwave on high for 90 seconds for a gooey, lava-cake-like center or up to 120 seconds in 10-second intervals for a firmer Protein Brownie.
Add Toppings
- I top with optional 1 tsp Greek yogurt, 1 tsp peanut butter, extra chocolate chips, or berries for a decadent healthy chocolate treat.
Serve
- I enjoy this quick brownie bite warm from the dish or transfer to a plate, savoring its fudgy, chocolatey goodness.
