PREPARATION
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a small oven-safe ramekin or dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Combine Ingredients: In a small bowl, mix the protein powder, almond flour, baking powder, honey and almond milk. Stir well until a smooth, thick batter forms.
- Pour Batter: Transfer the batter to the prepared ramekin, spreading it evenly. This ensures a consistent bake and a soft, fudgy centre.
- Bake: Place the ramekin in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. The brownie is done when the edges are firm, but the centre is still slightly soft.
- Cool And Enjoy: Allow the brownie to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm on its own or with a dollop of Greek yoghurt or a few fresh berries.

TIPS
Here are some tips for the preparation of Single-Serve Protein Brownie:
- Moisture Adjustment: If the batter feels too dry, add an extra ½ teaspoon of almond milk to reach a smooth consistency.
- Protein Powder Choice: Use a chocolate protein powder for a rich, chocolatey flavour. Vanilla protein powder works well, too, with a milder taste.
- Avoid Over-Baking: The brownie should still be slightly soft in the centre when you take it out, as it will firm up as it cools.
VARIATIONS
- Chocolate Chip Addition: Stir in a few dark chocolate chips to the batter for extra indulgence.
- Nutty Flavour: Add a pinch of chopped walnuts or almonds for added crunch and healthy fats.
- Cocoa Powder Boost: Add ½ tsp cocoa powder for a richer, deeper chocolate taste.
- Sweetener Swap: Replace honey with a sugar-free syrup for a lower-sugar option.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Fridge: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat briefly in the microwave for 10-15 seconds before enjoying.
- Freezer: Wrap the brownie tightly in plastic wrap and freeze in a freezer-safe bag for up to 1 month. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
