Description

This Two-Minute Protein Brownie is a quick and delicious microwave mug cake that combines the rich taste of chocolate with the benefits of protein powder. Perfect for a single-serving dessert or snack, this recipe uses simple ingredients and can be customized with optional chocolate chips for extra indulgence. It’s easy to make, ready in minutes, and ideal for satisfying chocolate cravings healthily.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 scoop chocolate protein powder (or your preferred flavor)
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tbsp almond flour (or oat flour)
  • Pinch of salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp sweetener (stevia, monk fruit, or honey)
  • 2 tbsp milk (or non-dairy alternative)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Optional

  • 1 tbsp chocolate chips for extra indulgence

Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: Combine the unsweetened cocoa powder, chocolate protein powder, baking powder, almond flour, sweetener, milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt in a microwave-safe mug or bowl. Stir the mixture well until it is smooth and all ingredients are evenly incorporated. If you want a richer brownie texture, fold in the optional chocolate chips at this stage.
  2. Microwave Cooking: Place the mug or bowl in the microwave and cook on high power for 1 to 2 minutes. Start checking at the 1-minute mark to prevent overcooking. The brownie is done when it has risen and the center is set but still moist. Be careful not to overcook as it can become dry.
  3. Cool and Serve: Allow the brownie to cool for 1 to 2 minutes before eating. This resting time helps it firm up slightly. Serve it as is or enhance the flavor by topping with Greek yogurt, peanut butter, or extra chocolate chips to your preference.

Notes

  • Use a microwave-safe mug or bowl to avoid hazards.
  • Adjust sweetener quantity to your taste preference or dietary needs.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute milk with almond, oat, or soy milk.
  • Protein powder flavor can be swapped to vanilla or peanut butter for different flavor profiles.
  • Check the brownie frequently during microwaving to prevent it from drying out.
