1/2 tsp vanilla extract
→ Decadent Swirls & Toppings
11 -
1 tbsp semi-sweet chocolate chips
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a small oven-safe ramekin (approximately 4-inch diameter) or a small baking dish. This crucial step ensures your Single-Serve High Protein Brownie Recipe won't stick and bakes evenly for a perfect, easy release.
02 -
In a small bowl, whisk together 1 scoop chocolate whey protein powder, 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 tbsp oat flour, 2 tbsp packed light brown sugar, 1/4 tsp baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Ensure all dry ingredients are well combined and free of lumps.
03 -
Add 1 large egg white, 1 tbsp unsweetened applesauce, 1 tbsp milk (dairy or non-dairy), and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Stir with a spoon or spatula until just combined and a thick batter forms. Avoid overmixing to maintain a tender brownie.
04 -
Gently fold in 1 tbsp semi-sweet chocolate chips into the brownie batter. You can reserve a few chips to sprinkle on top before baking for an extra visual appeal. This adds delightful pockets of melted chocolate to your Single-Serve High Protein Brownie Recipe.
05 -
Pour the brownie batter into your prepared ramekin. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs, but not wet batter. Baking time may vary slightly depending on your oven and ramekin size.
06 -
Remove the Single-Serve High Protein Brownie Recipe from the oven and let it cool in the ramekin for at least 5 minutes. This allows it to set and become fudgier. Enjoy your warm, decadent brownie as a satisfying high-protein treat!
# Notes:
01 -
For an extra fudgy brownie, ensure you don't overbake; the center should still look slightly moist when removed from the oven.
02 -
Feel free to experiment with different protein powder flavors like peanut butter or cookies and cream for a unique twist on this recipe.
03 -
Serve warm with a scoop of your favorite high-protein ice cream, a dollop of Greek yogurt, or a sprinkle of sea salt for an even more decadent treat.
04 -
While designed for one, any rare leftovers can be stored covered at room temperature for up to 2 days, though best enjoyed fresh.
