Ingredients
  

  • 3 tablespoons cassava flour
  • 1 ½ tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1 scoop chocolate protein powder grass fed beef isolate protein powder is the recommended kind to use
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon tahini see "ingredients" section of post for substitutes
  • ¼ cup water

Instructions
 

  • Mix the dry ingredients. Add cassava flour, cocoa powder, scoop of protein powder and baking powder to a small microwave-safe bowl, ramekin or mug. Mix gently with a fork to combine.
  • Add the wet ingredients. Add tahini and water to the bowl or mug, mixing gently again with a fork to combine. The batter should resemble traditional brownie batter but may be a touch thicker.
  • Add chocolate chips. Smooth the top of the brownie batter out and sprinkle chocolate chips on top.
  • Microwave. Place the mug or bowl in the microwave and cook for 60 seconds. Double check the texture after 60 seconds and microwave for an additional 30 seconds. Cooking time may vary based on microwave strengths.
  • Enjoy! Optional, but you can sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top before enjoying.

Notes

Expert Tips, Tricks & Favorite Add Ins
  • I recommend using cassava flour over any other type of flour, however if you must make a swap gluten free all purpose flour is your best option. It can tend to be a little cakier using all purpose flour so I recommend using 2 tablespoons instead of 3 if you do make this swap.
  • Use white chocolate chips instead of dark chocolate chips.
  • If you do not have chocolate protein powder available, vanilla protein powder or even unflavored protein powder would work.
  • Add one teaspoon of vanilla extract to enhance the chocolate flavor in the recipe.
How to Store Protein Mug Brownies
Since this is a single serving recipe, I do not recommend storing the mug brownie. If you truly cannot finish it and would like to save the leftovers for later, transfer it to an airtight container and keep in the fridge. You'll need to warm it back up in the microwave but note the texture will likely change and this truly isn't recommended.
