High Protein Mug Brownie

If you know anything about the Shh Kitchen, you’ll know that I love all things high protein. Just check out some of my baked oatmeal recipe videos to see how amazing recipes can be with a little boost of protein! The beautiful thing about this single serving brownie is that it has 10.5 grams of protein without using protein powder! Where does the protein come from you ask? Simple. The majority of protein content in this brownie is from the almond flour and chia seeds! Chia seeds?! In a brownie??? Keep reading…

I got you 😉

Print

This Fudge Brownie In A Mug recipe is the best! So fudgy and gooey, you would never guess it’s secretly healthy. Pop the brownie mug in the microwave and you’ll have a single serve brownie in 3 minutes! Egg free, oil-free, gluten-free, paleo and vegan!

Prep Time 2 minutes

Cook Time 3 minutes

Total Time 5 minutes

Ingredients

• ½ Chia Egg or Flax Egg (½ Tbs Ground Chia Seeds/Ground Flax Seeds + 1 Tbs water) (can sub 1 regular egg, preferably small)
• ¼ Cup Blanched Almond Flour
• 2-3 Tbs Coconut Sugar
• ¼ Cup Pumpkin Puree (not pumpkin pie mix) (can sub mashed banana or sweet potato puree) 
• 1½ Tbs Cacao Powder
• ⅓ tsp Baking Powder

Optional:

• Dash Cinnamon
• Dash Pink Himalayan Salt
• 1-2 Tbs Dairy-Free Chocolate Chips

Instructions

1. Combine all ingredients in a microwave safe mug, glass, or ramekin. Mix until well combined.

2. Place brownie mug in microwave for 3-5 minutes on high until cooked through.

3. Let cool for 2-5 minutes before enjoying!

Notes

1. Chia or Flax Egg: You can grind up your chia or flax seeds in a coffee grinder. Let flax egg thicken for 5-10 minutes before using. Chia egg will be ready right away.
2. What to do with the leftover pumpkin? If you used a can of pumpkin to make this single brownie and have some left over, you can use it to make my Secretly Healthy Fudge Brownies, Healthy Copycat Cosmic Brownies, or Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Muffins (they’re all dangerous… you’ve been warned).
3. Leave out mashed pumpkin: I've had a friend try this recipe using a regular egg and leaving out the pumpkin and she said it still turned out wonderfully! Let me know if you try it this way!
