Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • ¼ cup Chocolate Protein Powder (Whey-casein, 22g)
  • 2 Tbsp Unsweetened Cocoa Powder (10g)
  • 1 Tbsp Coconut Flour (7g)
  • ¼ tsp Baking Powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 Tbsp Unsweetened Almond Milk (45ml)
  • 1½ Egg White (45g)
  • ¼ tsp Vanilla Extract

Additional

  • 1 tsp Chopped Chocolate or Chocolate Chips (Sugar free recommended, 5g)
  • Cooking Spray (for greasing)

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the chocolate protein powder, unsweetened cocoa powder, coconut flour, and baking powder thoroughly to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the unsweetened almond milk, egg white, and vanilla extract into the dry ingredients and mix until you get a smooth batter without lumps.
  3. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the chopped chocolate or chocolate chips into the batter to incorporate them evenly throughout.
  4. Prepare Ramekin: Grease a 1-cup ramekin with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Transfer the batter into the ramekin and smooth the top with a spatula or the back of a spoon. Optionally sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top.
  5. Air Fry the Brownie: Place the ramekin in the air fryer and cook at 325°F (163°C) for 6 minutes. For a less fudgy and more cooked texture, increase the cooking time slightly, checking frequently.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the brownie to cool for a few minutes in the ramekin to set before enjoying your delicious, protein-packed treat.

Notes

  • Use sugar-free or dark chocolate chips to keep the brownie low in sugar.
  • Adjust cooking time based on the air fryer model as temperatures may vary.
  • For a vegan version, substitute the egg white with a flax egg, but texture may vary.
  • Ensure the ramekin is oven-safe and fits comfortably in your air fryer basket.
  • The brownie is best enjoyed warm but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
