Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon almond butter
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon protein powder (vanilla or chocolate)
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon almond milk (or milk of choice)
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the almond butter, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, protein powder, salt, and almond milk. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended.
- Microwave: Place the bowl in the microwave and cook on high power for 60 to 90 seconds. The brownie should set and become firm to the touch, indicating it is cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the brownie to cool for a few minutes before eating. This lets it firm up further and makes it easier to enjoy. Serve alone or with a side of fruit or yogurt if desired.
Notes
- You can substitute almond butter with peanut butter or any other nut butter.
- Adjust microwave time based on your microwave’s wattage to avoid overcooking.
- Maple syrup can be replaced with honey or agave syrup according to preference.
- Use a protein powder flavor that complements the cocoa, such as chocolate or vanilla.
- For a dairy alternative, any plant-based milk works well.
