Two Minute Protein Brownie
A quick and easy gluten-free brownie recipe that is rich, fudgy, and high in protein, perfect for late-night cravings or afternoon snacks.
Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 1 large egg Provides moisture and richness
- 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt Adds protein and texture
- 1 tbsp sweetener of choice (e.g., stevia, monk fruit, or honey) Choose based on dietary needs
Flavor Ingredients
- 3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder Provides deep chocolate flavor
- 1 tbsp chocolate protein powder Adds protein and subtle chocolate flavor
- 2-3 tbsp sugar-free chocolate chips (optional) Adds texture and chocolatey bursts
Instructions
Preparation
- In a microwave-safe mug or small bowl, crack the large egg and whisk until smooth.
- Add the plain Greek yogurt and sweetener to the egg. Whisk until thoroughly combined.
- Sift in the cocoa powder and chocolate protein powder. Stir until you have a thick, decadent batter.
- If using, fold in the chocolate chips and sprinkle a few extra on top.
Cooking
- Microwave on high for 60-90 seconds, watching closely for a set yet slightly soft center.
Serving
- Let the brownie cool for a few minutes, then enjoy straight from the mug or topped with a dollop of Greek yogurt or fresh fruit.
Notes
Avoid overcooking and sift dry ingredients for a lump-free batter. Letting the brownie cool briefly enhances flavor.
