Single-Serve High-Protein Chocolate Brownie (15g Protein)

I don’t know about you, but sometimes I just want a rich, fudgy chocolate brownie without making a huge batch. That’s exactly why I love this recipe. It’s a single-serve, high-protein brownie with about 15 grams of protein in the entire brownie, perfect for when a chocolate craving hits. It takes about 5 minutes to prep, uses simple ingredients, and bakes into a warm, gooey brownie that really satisfies a sweet tooth. Easy to make, perfectly portioned, and just the right amount of chocolate when you want something comforting without leftovers.

Ingredients

¼ cup cottage cheese
2 tbsp protein powder any flavor you like
1 large egg room temperature

Instructions

Preheat oven to 180°C / 350°F. Lightly grease a small glass rectangular baking dish (about 6 × 4 inches) or line it with parchment paper.
Add the cottage cheese and egg to a small blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth. This step is important for a creamy, fudgy texture with no lumps.
Whisk in the melted coconut oil, sweetener, and vanilla until smooth and glossy.
Add the protein powder, cocoa powder, coconut flour, and baking powder. Stir just until combined. The mixture will be thick but spoonable. Gently fold in the chocolate chips, if using.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, until the edges are set but the center still looks slightly soft.
Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing or serving. It will firm up as it cools and become extra fudgy.

Notes

Microwave option (extra gooey)

Microwave on high 70–90 seconds
Rest 1 minute before eating

Texture fixes (bookmark this)

Too thick → add 1–2 tsp milk
Too dry → Next time, reduce the coconut flour slightly or shorten the baking time by a minute or two.
Want lava-style → Push a few chocolate chips into the center of the batter before baking.
