After the major success I had with the single serving chocolate protein cookie, I really wanted to try another recipe along those lines. So I went for my favorite baked good of all time – only recently discovered it was my fave – and made a single serving version of a protein brownie!

Quite the perfect indulgent dessert here – warm chocolatey protein brownie topped with cool and creamy ice cream. And it’s all for one so you don’t need to share!

Ingredients for Single Serving Protein Brownie Recipe

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

  • 1:1 Gluten Free Baking Flour
  • Chocolate Protein Powder for high protein cookie 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.
  • Unsweetened Cocoa Powder or Cacao Powder
  • Peanut Butter
  • Non-fat Greek Yogurt contributes to the oil-free part of this chocolate protein brownie since it adds the moisture, and also extra protein 
  • Almond Milk to make this fudgy brownie for one dairy free
  • A bit of Vanilla Extract
  • Baking Powder

And then of course.. Chopped Chocolate or Chocolate Chips! I’d recommend the sugar free ones from Lakanto. Use my code HAYLSKITCHEN for a 15% discount on all the Lakanto products on their website!

How to make a Single Serving Protein Brownie for One

While most protein brownie for one recipes use the microwave, this single serve protein dessert is baked in the oven. A super easy process here though.

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly grease a ramekin.
  1. Mix your ingredients – oat flour, protein powder, cocoa powder, peanut butter powder, almond milk, Greek yogurt and baking powder – in a bowl.
  1. Add in most of the chocolate chips or chunks, leaving some for the topping later.
  1. Transfer high protein brownie batter onto the ramekin.
    Sprinkle on more chocolate chips.
  1. Bake the oven brownie for one for 13-15 min. You might need a minute extra; make sure a toothpick inserted in the center comes up mostly dry.

Let it cool a bit, and indulge!

Alternates for this Protein Brownie for One

I recommend making this single protein powder brownie using the ingredients and products listed – especially the since it gives the best results.

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

  • Gluten Free Flour: Use Oat flour, Whole wheat pastry flour or even all purpose flour. 
    You can try to use almond flour; I’m a little hesitant about this one, so let me know if you try it.
  • Vanilla Protein Powder in place of chocolate
  • Regular non-dairy milk to replace almond milk
  • Coconut Yogurt in place of Greek Yogurt

A Vegan Protein Brownie Recipe

This baked single serve chocolate protein brownie recipe has no eggs and uses almond milk, so can easily be made Vegan too.

For the perfect eggless Vegan protein brownie, make sure you use a plant based protein powder, coconut yogurt and dairy free chocolate chips.

ProteinWorld has a Vegan protein blend as well (HAYLSKITCHEN for the discount here too).

Mix-ins for Single Protein Brownie

This single serve protein dessert recipe makes a has the rich chocolate flavor, so I went for chocolate chips in the brownie batter.

For some more optins, you can mix in some chopped nuts – walnuts, almonds, pistachios – or may be even some seeds – cashew or pumpkin are good options.

Dried fruit like cranberries or raisins would work quite well in this high protein brownie for one.
