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
Wet Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
Optional
- 1 teaspoon chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: Combine the chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, almond flour or oat flour, and baking powder together in a microwave-safe mug or small bowl. Stir well to evenly distribute all dry ingredients.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the milk and maple syrup or honey into the dry mixture. Stir thoroughly until a thick, consistent batter forms. If the batter is too thick, add a little extra milk to adjust the consistency as needed.
- Optional Add-In: If desired, sprinkle chocolate chips on top of the batter or gently fold them into the mixture for added chocolate bursts.
- Cook: Place the mug or bowl in the microwave and cook on high power for 30 to 40 seconds. For a gooey texture, aim for the center to remain slightly soft. Let it cool briefly before enjoying your protein-packed brownie.
