Prep Time: 1 minute
Cook Time: 60–90 seconds
Total Time: 2 minutes
Servings: 1
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp oat flour
- 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 2 tbsp Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp milk of choice
- 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp sugar-free chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Mix the dry ingredients
Add the oat flour, cocoa powder, chocolate protein powder, baking powder, and salt to a microwave-safe mug. Stir well to remove any lumps.
2. Add the wet ingredients
Add the Greek yogurt, milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until you have a smooth, thick brownie batter.
3. Add chocolate
Fold in the chocolate chips or chopped chocolate. For an extra fudgy center, reserve a few pieces for the top.
4. Microwave
Microwave on high for 60–75 seconds. If the center still looks very wet, microwave for another 10–15 seconds.
5. Don’t overcook
The brownie should look slightly underdone in the center when you remove it. It will continue cooking from the residual heat and become fudgy as it cools.
6. Rest and serve
Let it sit for about 30 seconds, then top with Greek yogurt, berries, peanut butter, or a few extra chocolate chips.
💡 Tips for a Fudgy Protein Brownie
- Don’t overcook—this is the most important tip for keeping protein mug cakes soft.
- Use Greek yogurt for extra moisture and protein.
- For a richer brownie, add 1 tsp peanut butter to the batter.
- For a lower-sugar version, use a zero-sugar sweetener instead of honey or maple syrup.
Approx. protein: 25–30g per serving, depending on the protein powder and yogurt used.
