Ingredients
  

2 tablespoons almond flour

1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder

1 scoop (about 30g) chocolate or vanilla protein powder

1 tablespoon coconut sugar (or sweetener of choice)

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

Pinch of salt

1 tablespoon unsweetened applesauce

1 tablespoon almond butter (or peanut butter)

1 tablespoon almond milk (or milk of choice)

Optional: 1 tablespoon dark chocolate chips or nuts for added texture

Instructions
 

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a small mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, cocoa powder, protein powder, coconut sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir until well combined.

    Incorporate Wet Ingredients: Add the applesauce, almond butter, and almond milk to the dry mixture. Mix thoroughly until you have a smooth batter. If you want, fold in the dark chocolate chips or nuts for extra flavor and texture.

      Prepare the Cooking Vessel: Lightly grease a microwave-safe mug or ramekin with a bit of cooking spray or a drop of oil.

        Transfer the Batter: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared mug, smoothing the top with a spoon.

          Microwave: Microwave on high for 60-90 seconds. Start checking at 60 seconds; the brownie is done when it has risen and is slightly firm to the touch but still moist.

            Cool and Enjoy: Let it cool for a minute or two, as it will be hot. Enjoy your protein-packed brownie straight from the mug or pop it out onto a plate.
