Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 scoop whey protein powder chocolate or vanilla
  • 1 –2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 –2 tbsp Greek yogurt
  • 2 –3 tbsp milk any type
  • 1 whole egg or 1 egg white
  • 1 –2 tsp allulose or monk fruit
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: chocolate chips walnuts, nut butter, dark chocolate pieces

Method
 

  1. Add the protein powder, cocoa powder, sweetener, and a small pinch of salt to a mug. Use a spoon or small whisk to mix the dry ingredients thoroughly, breaking up any clumps. Cocoa powder especially can form little lumps, so spend a few extra seconds smoothing everything out for a better brownie texture.
  2. Add the Greek yogurt and milk directly into the mug. Start stirring slowly to help the dry ingredients absorb the liquid, then mix more vigorously until you get a thick, smooth, chocolatey batter. The mixture should be similar to traditional brownie batter — thick enough to coat a spoon but not dry. If it seems too thick, add an extra ½ tablespoon of milk.
  3. Crack in the whole egg or pour in the egg white. Mix again until the batter becomes glossy and fully blended with no streaks. Make sure to scrape down the sides and bottom of the mug so no dry ingredients remain unrinsed into the batter.
  4. Stir in any optional mix-ins you like, such as chocolate chips, small dark chocolate chunks, chopped walnuts, or even a small spoon of peanut butter. Fold these in gently so they’re evenly distributed. For a richer brownie top, sprinkle a few chocolate chips on the surface before microwaving.
  5. Microwave the mug on high for 60–90 seconds. Because microwave strengths vary, start checking at the 60-second mark. The brownie should rise slightly, the top should look set but soft, and the edges may pull away just a little. If the center is still wet, heat in 10-second intervals until done. Avoid overcooking — protein brownies can dry out quickly.
  6. Let the brownie sit for 30–60 seconds after microwaving. This short resting time helps it thicken, settle, and develop a perfectly fudgy texture. The center becomes creamier and the edges soften slightly as it cools.
  7. Enjoy the brownie warm straight from the mug, or elevate it with simple toppings like Greek yogurt, fresh berries, a drizzle of sugar-free chocolate syrup, or a spoonful of nut butter. These additions make the dessert feel even more indulgent while keeping it high-protein and satisfying.
