Description
Late-night cravings? Post-gym chocolate dreams? This warm, gooey, single-serve brownie has your back in just 2 minutes. Born from a microwave mishap in a college dorm, it’s now my go-to comfort fix—packed with protein, low in sugar, and made with ingredients you probably already have. No oven, no mess—just chocolate magic in a mug.
Ingredients
-
1 egg (or flax egg for vegan)
-
⅓ cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat for fudginess)
-
1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (or monk fruit for sugar-free)
-
3 tbsp cocoa powder
-
1 tbsp chocolate protein powder (optional)
-
1–2 tbsp dark chocolate chips or chunks
Instructions
-
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a microwave-safe mug, whisk together egg and yogurt until smooth.
-
Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in sweetener, cocoa powder, and protein powder. Mix until a thick batter forms.
-
Fold in Chocolate: Add chocolate chips, stirring gently. Sprinkle a few on top for melt-factor.
-
Microwave: Heat on high for 60–75 seconds. The center should still look slightly gooey. Do not overcook!
-
Cool Slightly: Let rest for 1–2 minutes. Enjoy straight from the mug!
Notes
-
Adjust microwave time by wattage—start with 60 sec and add in 10-sec bursts.
-
Want extra richness? Swirl in 1 tbsp nut butter before cooking.
-
Vegan? Use coconut yogurt and a flax egg!
