Ingredients

1 egg
⅓ cup Greek yogurt
1 tbsp sweetener of choice (e.g., stevia, erythritol, or honey)
3 tbsp cocoa powder or cacao powder
1 tbsp chocolate protein powder
Chocolate chips (as many as you like)

Instructions

Step 1: In a 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 to your liking.
Step 2: Lightly grease a small microwave-safe dish or ramekin to prevent sticking. Pour the batter evenly into the dish.
Step 3: Microwave the batter for 90 seconds if you prefer a soft, lava cake texture, or for 120 seconds for a firmer, more traditional brownie consistency.
Step 4: Carefully remove from the microwave. Add your favorite toppings such as nuts, berries, or a drizzle of nut butter, and enjoy your warm, protein-packed brownie!

Tips & Variations

Use flavored protein powder like vanilla or mocha for a different twist on the flavor.
Swap Greek yogurt for dairy-free yogurt to make this recipe vegan-friendly (use flax egg as an egg substitute).
Add a pinch of cinnamon or chili powder for a subtle spicy note.
For extra gooey chocolate, add more chocolate chips or a square of dark chocolate on top before microwaving.

Storage

Store any leftover brownie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat briefly in the microwave to warm it up, but be careful not to overcook, or it may dry out.

How to Serve

The image shows a square glass dish filled with a dessert. The bottom layer is dark chocolate cake or brownie, topped evenly with a thick white whipped cream layer. On top of the whipped cream, there are swirls of light brown caramel sauce spread in a loose spiral pattern. Scattered over the caramel and whipped cream are many small round chocolate chips. A spoon is placed on the right side in the dish, partially scooping some dessert, showing the dark chocolate and white layers inside. The dish is set on a white marbled surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I bake this brownie instead of microwaving it?

Yes, you can bake it in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-12 minutes, but microwaving is faster and works best for this quick recipe.

What if I don’t have chocolate protein powder?

You can substitute with plain protein powder and increase the cocoa powder by 1 tablespoon for a rich chocolate flavor.
