Description

A quick and delicious 100-calorie protein mug brownie that can be prepared in just minutes. This single-serving dessert combines chocolate protein powder, cocoa, and healthy ingredients to create a moist, satisfying treat that’s perfect for a post-workout snack or a guilt-free indulgence.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons chocolate protein powder
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 tablespoon almond milk (or any milk)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Toppings

  • Mini chocolate chips
  • Dollop of light whipped cream

Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a microwave-safe mug, combine the chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Add the unsweetened applesauce, almond milk, and vanilla extract, then mix everything until the batter is smooth and well combined.
  2. Microwave the Brownie: Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 40 to 60 seconds. The brownie should be set around the edges but slightly moist in the center to ensure a soft texture.
  3. Cool Slightly: Allow the brownie to cool for a minute or two so it firms up a bit and is safe to eat without burning your mouth.
  4. Add Toppings and Serve: Top with optional mini chocolate chips or a dollop of light whipped cream if desired. Enjoy the brownie directly from the mug for a quick and easy dessert.

Notes

  • You can substitute almond milk with any other milk or milk alternative you prefer.
  • Adjust cooking time slightly based on your microwave’s wattage to avoid overcooking.
  • For a fudgier texture, reduce cooking time by 5-10 seconds.
  • The calorie count is approximate and may vary depending on the protein powder brand and optional toppings.
  • Adding mini chocolate chips or whipped cream will increase calories; use sparingly to keep it around 100 calories.
