Two Minute Protein Brownie
This quick and healthy Two Minute Protein Brownie recipe made with just six simple ingredients is the perfect post-workout snack or a satisfying dessert with no guilt. It’s fudgy, rich, and packs a protein punch!
Ingredients
- 1 large Egg room temperature
- 1/3 cup Greek yogurt plain, full-fat
- 1 tbsp Sweetener of choice Stevia, erythritol, or honey
- 3 tbsp Unsweetened cocoa powder cacao powder for a deeper flavor
- 1 tbsp Chocolate protein powder Vanilla protein works too
- Mini chocolate chips as desired
Instructions
- Lightly grease a small microwave-safe ramekin or mug with coconut oil to prevent sticking.
- Crack the egg into a medium mixing bowl and add Greek yogurt. Whisk until completely smooth, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Add sweetener, sift in cocoa powder, and protein powder. Whisk until the batter is glossy and smooth.
- Fold in mini chocolate chips (or other desired mix-ins like nuts, almond butter, or berries).
- Pour the batter into the prepared ramekin. Microwave for 90 seconds for a gooey, lava-cake texture or 2 minutes for a more traditional brownie.
- Let the brownie rest for 1-2 minutes. Enjoy once cooled slightly.
Notes
Microwave Wattage: Microwave times may vary depending on wattage (700-1200 watts). Start with less time and adjust as needed. Storage: Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat for 15-20 seconds in the microwave. Substitutions: Use unsweetened applesauce or mashed banana as an egg replacement for a vegan version. Protein Powder: Whey gives the fluffiest texture, while casein creates a denser, fudgier result. Plant-based proteins may require additional cooking time.
