Ingredients

These brownies are simple with real food ingredients.

• Almond milk
• avocado oil or olive oil
• pure vanilla extract
• unflavored protein powder
• all purpose flour
• cocoa powder
• brown sugar or honey
• salt
• baking powder
• dark chocolate chips
• vanilla greek yogurt (for topping)

See recipe card for quantities.

Instructions

Step 1: Gather all of your ingredients, measuring spoons, and a mug that is microwave safe.

Step 2: Start by adding in all of the wet ingredients and mix well. Then add in your dry ingredients and gently mix together before stirring in with the wet. Mix for what feels like forever until there are no dry pockets or lumps.

Step 3: Top with dark chocolate chips and pop in the microwave for about 1-2 minutes. Every microwave is different, so watch it and make sure it is rising. The top should be solid but not dry.

Hint: Every microwave is different, so watch it and make sure it is rising. The top should be solid but not dry. Start with one minute and add more about 10 seconds at a time until it looks fully cooked. I prefer mine to be less cakey and dry so I don't cook them as long as my husband, who likes them very cakey.

Substitutions

Using what you have:

• Brown Sugar - instead of brown sugar, you can use honey.
• Avocado Oil - Instead of avocado oil, you can use olive oil.
• Dark Chocolate - You can use any chocolate chips that you have on hand.

Equipment

Equipment can have a big impact on how a recipe turns out. You'll just need a microwave safe mug or small bowl and a microwave.

Storage

Best served fresh. I wouldn't know if they store well because we eat them while they are still warm!
