Best High Protein Mug Brownie Recipe
Servings 1 large brownie
This high protein mug brownie is the perfect solution anytime you need a chocolate fix. You get the rich, fudgy, chocolaty brownie you're dreaming of, but with 20 grams of protein per serving to help fill you up! There's no better way to satisfy a chocolate craving! {Gluten-free & Vegetarian}
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons almond flour
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon chocolate protein powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- Tiny pinch of salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or other desired sweetener)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon mini or regular dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips, plus a few extra for topping
Instructions
- In a microwave-safe mug, mix together the almond flour, cocoa powder, protein powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Whisk in the egg, almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla until you have a smooth batter. Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Microwave on high for 45–60 seconds, checking at the 45-second mark to avoid overcooking. (I found 55 seconds was just right!) Let it cool for a minute before digging in.
- Add desired toppings and enjoy!
Notes
- Nutritional information is based on the full brownie, which is a fairly large portion. Halve the nutritional values if you plan to only consume half.
- Microwave times can vary, so be sure to check the brownie about halfway through to see how it's doing so that you can achieve your desired consistency.
- Use a high-speed blender or food processor for a really smooth batter.
