This was a really last minute recipe. I had no post planned, and this fudgy single serving peanut butter protein brownie was just too easy!

Mix all those ingredients in a bowl, pour into a ramekin and bake.

Ingredients for Half Baked Peanut Butter Protein Brownie

This single serve peanut butter protein brownie is made with a few simple and healthy ingredients, and has no butter or oil and no sugar either! 

• Chocolate Protein Powder for high protein brownie that’s also sugar free.
  I used ProteinWorld Whey, but the ProteinWorld Slender Blend is another great option. Code HAYLSKITCHEN gets you a discount on both.
  A third alternative would be Quest, but you would need more milk here since this is a whey-caesin blend.
• Unsweetened Cocoa Powder or Cacao Powder
• Peanut Butter Powder, also known as Powdered Peanut Butter. I recommend Lakanto for a sugar free version (the code HAYLSKITCHEN gives you a discount). Or you could use the one from PbFit too.
• Coconut Flour
• Egg Whites for extra protein
• Unsweetened Almond Milk
• A bit of Vanilla Extract
• Baking Powder

And some Creamy Peanut Butter for topping!

If you need to add more sweetness, Stevia Powder or Zero Calorie Sugar Substitute; I use Lakanto, to keep this raw protein brownie batter recipe sugar free; (code HAYLSKITCHEN for a discount here too)

Tips to make Peanut Butter Protein Powder Brownie in a Mug

This fudgy peanut butter protein powder brownie really is an easy one and made in a mug or ramekin, but make sure you do all of this stuff to get is perfect.

• Grease the ramekin! You want the brownie to come off easily.
  Use an oven-safe mug if you need.

• Don’t over-mix the batter!
  Make sure you gently fold the dry mix into the wet to combine them.
  If you over-mix it,  protein powder will make your protein brownie tough, dense and gummy.

• Taste the batter and see if you need some extra sweetener. I’d recommend using stevia powder to maintain the consistency of the batter.

• Don’t overbake the brownie. The top will should be just cooked. It might look soft, but will harden when it cools a bit.
  It will continue to cook when out, and you want the proper fudgy peanut butter brownie center.

If you need other options for the flours and such, here’s some alternatives for a healthy protein powder brownie for one:

• Chocolate Protein Powder: Use Vanilla
• Peanut Butter Powder: Use 1 tablespoon Creamy Peanut Butter, but also reduce the milk to maybe 3½ Tbsp.
• Coconut flour: Try using about 3 tablespoon of Almond Flour
• Egg Whites: 2 tablespoon aquafaba (chickpea liquid). I haven’t given this a try yet though.
• Almond Milk: Any other milk
