Ingredients
- 2 Large Eggs
- 1 Packet Splenda
- 1 Scoop Protein Powder (I use Double Chocolate Gold Standard from ON)
- 1 Tbsp. Heavy Cream
Instructions
- Get a mug out, but try to make sure it is small in size. With larger mugs it’s harder to determine how long it needs in the microwave (usually it needs a bit more time), and if it’s your first time doing this you’ll be better off
- Crack 2 eggs into your mug.
- Add 1 tbsp. heavy cream.
- Add your protein powder and Splenda. If you can use liquid sucralose or stevia, it’s even better – as it’s 0g carbs instead of 1g.
- Mix it up as best as you can. Don’t worry if there’s still a few little lumps in there as they tend to dissolve as it’s cooking in the microwave.
- Nuke it for 1 minute on regular power. No need to fuss with high or low power on this one.
- You will notice that the mixture starts to rise, and as it starts to come out of the mug (let it rise about 1 inch above the rim) you can stop the microwave. This happens to be at exactly 1 minute for my microwave.
- Up to you, but I like to mix mine up and let all the liquid soak into the now semi-dry brownie portion. Molten chocolate ontop of that sweet brownie!
