Ingredients
Scale
- 1 scoop (30g) chocolate protein powder
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp almond flour
- 1 tbsp almond butter
- 2 tbsp milk of choice (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Optional: chocolate chips, chopped walnuts, or a sprinkle of sea salt on top
Instructions
- Mix the dry ingredients: In a small mixing bowl or microwave-safe mug, stir together the chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, almond flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
- Add the wet ingredients: Stir in almond butter, milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until a thick batter forms. Add a splash more milk if it’s too thick.
- Customize (optional): Fold in chocolate chips, crushed pecans, or a swirl of peanut butter for added flavor and texture.
- Microwave magic: Microwave on high for 60–90 seconds, watching closely until it puffs up slightly and feels set but moist.
- Let it rest: Allow the brownie to cool for 1 minute before enjoying.
- Enjoy: Top with Greek yogurt, almond butter, or fresh berries if desired.
Notes
