HEALTHY 1 MINUTE LOW CARB BROWNIE

This healthy low carb chocolate brownie is moist, gooey, and perfect single-serve dessert or snack to enjoy anytime! It also only takes less than a minute to whip up, or under 12 minutes if you bake it in the oven! This is the healthy kind of dessert you can enjoy anytime, even after exercise- Seriously! It’s packed with protein and could totally replace your standard shake, and is on par with one, calorie wise. Because of the ingredients used, it’s completely paleo, vegan, gluten free, grain free, dairy free and sugar free! 

As protein powder is one of the key ingredients here, I highly recommend you be careful of what kind of protein powder you use! As always, I tried it out with this vegan brown rice protein powder, this casein protein powder, and this paleo protein powder. Dietary restrictions aside, I’d recommend the vegan or casein one, in terms of the best texture. For those of you who prefer whey protein powder, this is not the recipe I’d use it for. I tried three different whey protein brands, and they all had the same effect- The final result was dry and sponge-like. 

Ingredients

1 scoop chocolate protein powder 32-34 grams

1 tbsp coconut flour can substitute for gluten free oat flour

1 tbsp granulated sweetener Optional- I used a stevia blend

1/2 tsp baking powder

1 tbsp cocoa powder

1 egg white OR whole egg *

1/4 cup milk of choice **

1 tbsp chocolate chunks of choice Optional

Instructions

1 . Lightly grease a small microwave safe cereal bowl or oven safe ramekin with cooking spray and set aside.

2 . In a small mixing bowl, combine all your dry ingredients and mix well. Add your egg white, milk of choice and chocolate chunks and mix until a thick batter is formed. If the mixture is too thick (it will most likely be), continue to add milk, one tablespoon at a time, until a thick batter remains. 

3 . If using a microwave, microwave in 30-second intervals until desired texture is achieved (I usually get the best texture at 55 seconds). If using an oven, bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 12-15 minutes, or until a skewer comes out 'just clean' from the center.

Recipe Notes

 To keep it vegan, omit completely- You'll need to add an extra tablespoon of non-dairy milk to compensate.

 Depending on the protein powder and coconut flour you use, you may need more. Adjust accordingly
