Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 scoop (about 30g) chocolate protein powder
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon almond flour (or oat flour)
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2–3 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon nut butter (optional)
- 1 teaspoon chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a small microwave-safe bowl or mug, combine the chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, almond flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to ensure an even mixture.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Gradually stir in 2 to 3 tablespoons of unsweetened almond milk until the mixture forms a thick, brownie-like batter consistency.
- Add Optional Toppings: If desired, add a teaspoon of nut butter and sprinkle a teaspoon of chocolate chips onto the center or top of the batter for extra richness.
- Microwave Cooking: Microwave the mixture on high for 30 to 60 seconds, adjusting time based on your microwave’s strength and how fudgy you want your brownie. Avoid overcooking to maintain a soft and gooey center.
- Cool and Serve: Let the brownie cool for a few seconds before eating. Enjoy warm for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use either plant-based or whey protein powder based on your dietary preference.
- Ensure the baking powder is fresh to help the brownie rise slightly.
- Do not overcook; the brownie should be just set on top to stay soft and gooey inside.
- You can substitute almond flour with oat flour for a different texture or gluten-free option.
- Experiment with nut butters like peanut, almond, or cashew for varied flavors.
