Amazing One Minute Protein Brownie

This Amazing One Minute Protein Brownie will truly knocks your socks off. The perfect amount of sweet yumminess to satisfy your craving without any quilt.

Now, I know what you must be thinking.  One minute? Amazing? Really?

But I will confirm with my biggest of biggest “absolutely”!  This is truly an amazing one minute protein brownie!

I was skeptical too.  But of course I had to try it in my quest for more healthy dessert options for me while I am training hard in the gym.  Getting in protein is hard for me sometimes, especially when it comes to snacks and desserts.

I pretty much have my favorite egg white scramble for breakfast, my yogurt parfait for my afternoon snack.  It’s just easier for me to eat the same things often.  When I have a dessert craving, I needed something in my arsenal as a go-to.  (Other than just plain dark chocolate)

Enter this fabulous new discovery.  It couldn’t be more simple.  Just a scoop of protein powder of your choice, a tablespoon of coconut sugar, coconut flour, cocoa powder and a 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder.  Mixed with a 1/4 cup of egg whites and milk of choice.  I used unsweetened vanilla almond milk.

While it’s cooking, it looks like it’s going to puff over the sides of the mug. Mine puffed up about 3 inches above the top of the mug!   But once it sits for about 2-3 minutes, it settles right down.

I cooked mine for exactly 60 seconds (1 minute)  After sitting for those couple of minutes, it was the perfect gooey texture for me!

Devoured and rubbed my belly in completely joy!
