This healthy two minute protein brownie is gluten free, refined sugar free, low carb, low sugar, and high protein. On a small white plate is a single-serve protein brownie in the shape of a rectangle. The outside is a rich dark chocolate color looking soft, gooey in the center, pillowy, and fudgy. Some powdered monkfruit is white sprinkled on top. A fork has a bite on it showing the inside texture of soft, chewy, and airy.

This Protein Brownie is gluten free, single-serve, and comes together in two minutes! It’s incredibly chocolatey, fudgy, and delicious and to make it even better, it’s high in protein, low sugar, and has minimal ingredients. Next time you’re having a chocolate craving and need a quick fix, you’ll want to give this recipe a try!

I love a high protein dessert, especially when there’s chocolate involved. Higher protein recipes are great because protein keeps you fuller for longer, more satisfied, and help with blood sugar balance. In this recipe, we have protein from the Greek yogurt, egg, and protein powder which can pack a lot in one single-serve dessert!

I’m definitely a sweet tooth girl who craves sweets A LOT so having high protein options is always a great idea. I love my protein-packed cottage cheese desserts, shakes, and bars, but when I want something quick this brownie recipe has become my go-to!

This healthy two minute protein brownie is gluten free, refined sugar free, low carb, low sugar, and high protein. In a clear microwave safe dish, the brownie is a dark rich chocolate color. Soft pillowy texture is shown through the top of the brownie and a gooey center. It's topped with drizzle of peanut butter, a dollop of greek yogurt, and more chocolate chips for added flavor and texture.

How To Make

In a small bowl, mix all of the ingredients except chocolate chips together. Then, add in the chocolate chips.
Lightly grease a small microwave safe dish. (Tip: I used a glass food storage container like this one.)
Pour the batter into the dish and smooth it out.
Microwave for 90 seconds if you want more of a lava cake, under-cooked center then you can start adding toppings. If you want it to be a little more baked, microwave in ten-second intervals until your desired doneness. (Tip: Microwaving anywhere from 90-120 seconds is the best method!)
Add toppings of choice – Greek yogurt, peanut butter, chocolate chips, whipped cream, ice cream, berries, etc. Enjoy!
