Instructions

Microwave Instructions

Lightly grease an 8-ounce microwave-safe ramekin or mug.
Whisk the egg yolk and Greek yogurt until smooth.
Stir in the cacao powder, vanilla, vanilla stevia, and sea salt until well combined.
Fold in the chopped dark chocolate, if using.
Microwave for 45–60 seconds. The edges should be set while the center remains slightly soft.
Let the brownie rest for 2–3 minutes before enjoying. It will continue to set as it cools.

Oven Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F .
Prepare the batter as directed above.
Pour into a lightly greased 8-ounce oven-safe ramekin.
Bake for 8–10 minutes, until the edges are set and the center is still slightly soft.
Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Air Fryer Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 325°F.
Grease an 8-ounce oven-safe ramekin.
Prepare the batter and pour it into the ramekin.
Air fry for 7–9 minutes, until the edges are set but the center is still slightly soft.
Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. It will continue to set and become fudgy as it cools.

Notes

4 g net carbs, not including the optional dark chocolate

The egg yolk creates a richer, more brownie-like texture than a whole egg.
Don’t overbake. This dessert is best when the center is still fudgy.
