<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Why You’ll Love This High Protein Brownie</strong></h2>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>What Makes This Mug Brownie Different?</strong></h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Years ago I shared my Best Sugar Free Gluten Free Low Carb Keto Mug Brownie in my cookbook, <a href="https://amzn.to/4v5o5XP" type="link" id="https://amzn.to/4v5o5XP">The 30-Day Sugar Elimination Diet</a>. That recipe makes two servings and uses sunflower seed flour along with a few more pantry ingredients.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">After hearing from so many readers who wanted something even easier with less dry ingredients, I started experimenting with a single-serve brownie recipe using fewer ingredients. After several rounds of testing, I discovered that using just an egg yolk instead of a whole egg created the rich, fudgy brownie texture I was looking for.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The result is this Sugar Free Flourless High Protein Brownie Mug Cake. It’s made with minimal ingredients, has an incredibly gooey center, and it’s a quick fix to satisfy a chocolate craving in minutes.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Ingredient Notes</strong></h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You only need a few pantry staples:</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Egg yolk</strong> creates an incredibly rich, fudgy brownie instead of a rubbery texture.</li>
<li><strong>Plain Greek yogurt</strong> adds moisture, protein, and keeps the brownie soft.</li>
<li><strong><a href="https://amzn.to/4eQ8Njo" type="link" id="https://amzn.to/4eQ8Njo">Unsweetened cacao powder</a></strong> provides deep chocolate flavor or <a href="https://amzn.to/4wdYa0O" type="link" id="https://amzn.to/4wdYa0O">unsweetened cocoa powder</a></li>
<li><strong><a href="https://amzn.to/4aZHOkl" type="link" id="https://amzn.to/4aZHOkl">Vanilla extract</a></strong> enhances the chocolate.</li>
<li><a href="https://amzn.to/4arlgsA" type="link" id="https://amzn.to/4arlgsA"><strong>Vanilla liquid stevia</strong> </a>sweetens without sugar </li>
<li><a href="https://amzn.to/4ePIqKz" type="link" id="https://amzn.to/4ePIqKz"><strong>Sea salt</strong> </a>balances the sweetness.</li>
<li><strong><a href="https://amzn.to/3QMRl7q" type="link" id="https://amzn.to/3QMRl7q">85% dark chocolate</a></strong> creates delicious pockets of melted chocolate throughout the brownie.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Recipe Tips for 1 Minute Protein Brownie</strong></h2>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Microwave strengths vary, so begin checking around 45 seconds.</li>
<li>The top should look set while the center stays slightly soft.</li>
<li>Allow the brownie to rest for 2 to 3 minutes after cooking. It continues cooking as it cools, giving you the perfect gooey brownie texture.</li>
<li>Overcooking is the biggest reason mug cakes become dry or rubbery.</li>
</ul>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Easy Ingredient Swaps</strong></h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Need to customize this recipe? Here are a few simple substitutions.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Dairy-Free</strong></h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Replace the Greek yogurt with your favorite unsweetened dairy-free yogurt. Unsweetened coconut yogurt or almond milk yogurt both work well. Keep in mind the protein content will be lower.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Sweetener</strong></h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Any liquid sugar-free sweetener can be used, including <a href="https://amzn.to/3SD7RaK" type="link" id="https://amzn.to/3SD7RaK">liquid monk fruit</a> or <a href="https://amzn.to/4arBlP2" type="link" id="https://amzn.to/4arBlP2">liquid allulose.</a> Adjust to your preferred sweetness.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Cocoa Powder</strong></h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://amzn.to/3Sri9Ld" type="link" id="https://amzn.to/3Sri9Ld">Natural cocoa powder </a>can be substituted for <a href="https://amzn.to/3T9Ae0n" type="link" id="https://amzn.to/3T9Ae0n">cacao powder</a> if that’s what you have on hand. Cacao powder simply provides a slightly richer chocolate flavor.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Chocolate</strong></h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The chopped <a href="https://amzn.to/3R9lVs7" type="link" id="https://amzn.to/3R9lVs7">85% dark chocolate</a> or higher is optional, but highly recommended if you love pockets of melted chocolate. You can also use your favorite <a href="https://amzn.to/3QLMKTa" type="link" id="https://amzn.to/3QLMKTa">sugar-free chocolate bar.</a></p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Frequently Asked Questions</strong></h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Can I make this ahead of time?</strong></p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This recipe is best enjoyed warm immediately after cooking while the center is still soft and fudgy.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Why only use the egg yolk?</strong></p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The yolk adds richness and helps create a moist, fudgy brownie. Using a whole egg can make small mug cakes slightly more cake-like and less dense.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Can I use protein powder?</strong></p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I don’t recommend it for this recipe. Protein powder absorbs a lot of moisture and changes the texture. This recipe gets its protein naturally from the Greek yogurt and egg yolk.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Can I bake this instead of microwaving?</strong></p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Yes! I’ve included microwave, oven, and air fryer instructions so you can choose whichever cooking method you prefer.</p>
