Description
Fudgy Chocolate Protein Brownies
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup chocolate protein powder (whey or plant-based)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup almond flour (or oat flour)
- 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt (plain, non-fat)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or honey)
- 2 tablespoons almond milk
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon mini chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a small baking dish (e.g., 5×5-inch or a ramekin) or prepare a microwave-safe mug.
- In a medium bowl, combine the chocolate protein powder, unsweetened cocoa powder, almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk well to remove any lumps and ensure even distribution.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, maple syrup, almond milk, and egg until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Gently mix with a spatula until just combined, avoiding overmixing. Fold in the mini chocolate chips, if using.
- Transfer the batter to your prepared baking dish or mug, spreading evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs. Alternatively, microwave in a mug for 60-90 seconds until set (microwave times vary).
- Remove from oven/microwave and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy this fudgy, protein-packed treat!
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for longer.
