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)
- 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.
- 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.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the chopped chocolate or chocolate chips into the batter to incorporate them evenly throughout.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
