A third alternative would be Quest.
Unsweetened Cocoa Powder or Cacao Powder
Coconut Flour
Egg Whites for extra protein
Unsweetened Almond Milk
A bit of Vanilla Extract

And then of course.. Chopped Chocolate or Chocolate Chips! I’d recommend the sugar free ones from Lakanto. Use my code HAYLSKITCHEN for a 15% discount on all the Lakanto products on their website!

Tips to make Half Baked Protein Brownie in a Mug

This chocolate fudge half baked protein brownie really is an easy one and made in a mug or ramekin, but make sure you do all of this stuff to get is perfect.

Grease the ramekin! You want the brownie to come off easily.
Use an oven-safe mug if you need.

Don’t over-mix the batter!
Make sure you gently fold the dry mix into the wet to combine them.
If you over-mix it, protein powder will make your protein brownie tough, dense and gummy.

Taste the batter and see if you need some extra sweetener. I’d recommend using stevia powder to maintain the consistency of the batter.

Don’t overbake the brownie. The top will should be just cooked. It might look soft, but will harden when it cools a bit.
It will continue to cook when out, and you want the proper fudge brownie center.
