Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Batter

  • 1 egg
  • ⅓ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp sweetener of choice (honey, maple syrup, or stevia)
  • 3 tbsp cocoa powder (or cacao powder)
  • 1 tbsp chocolate protein powder

Toppings (optional)

  • Chocolate chips (quantity to taste)
  • Greek yogurt (for topping)
  • Nut butter (almond, peanut, cashew, optional)
  • Berries or sliced bananas (optional)
  • Extra chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Mix It Up! 🥣
    In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, Greek yogurt, sweetener, cocoa powder, and chocolate protein powder until the mixture is silky smooth without any lumps to ensure maximum fudgy texture.
  2. Chocolate Chip Magic 💫
    Gently fold chocolate chips into the batter to your preferred amount, making this treat as chocolatey as you like.
  3. Microwave Dance! 🔥
    Lightly grease a microwave-safe mug or ramekin with cooking spray. Pour the batter into the prepared dish and microwave for 90 seconds for a molten lava cake texture or up to 120 seconds for a firmer brownie-like consistency. Since microwaves vary, check the brownie every 10 seconds after the first minute to avoid overcooking.
  4. Top & Dive In! 🍒🥜
    Customize your brownie with a swirl of Greek yogurt, a drizzle of nut butter, fresh berries or banana slices, and an extra sprinkle of chocolate chips. Enjoy immediately while warm.
