Scale
Brownie Batter
- 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
- Mix – 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.
- Prepare – Lightly grease a small microwave-safe dish or ramekin to prevent sticking. Pour the batter evenly into the dish.

- Enjoy! – Remove carefully from the microwave. Add your favorite toppings such as nuts, berries, or a drizzle of nut butter, and dive into your warm, protein-packed brownie!
