Ingredients
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
Wet Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
Optional
- 1 teaspoon chocolate chips
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a microwave-safe mug or small bowl, combine the chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, almond or oat flour, and baking powder. Stir well to evenly distribute all dry ingredients.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the milk and maple syrup or honey. Stir the mixture thoroughly until a thick, smooth batter forms. If the batter is too thick, add a little more milk to adjust consistency.
- Optional Add-In: Sprinkle chocolate chips on top of the batter or fold them into the mixture for extra chocolatey flavor and texture.
- Cook: Microwave the mug on high power for 30 to 40 seconds. For a gooey center, slightly undercook so the brownie remains soft in the middle. Let it cool briefly before enjoying.
Notes
- You can substitute almond flour with oat flour if you prefer a gluten-free option but be sure the oat flour is certified gluten-free if you have sensitivities.
- Adjust the milk quantity to achieve your preferred batter thickness.
- Use dairy or any plant-based milk like almond, soy, or oat milk according to your dietary preference.
- Maple syrup or honey can be swapped with other liquid sweeteners like agave nectar or stevia, though the texture might slightly change.
- Cooking times may vary depending on your microwave’s wattage, so monitor closely to avoid overcooking.
