I love it when a post like this comes along, and I already have all the ingredients in my cupboards! Will be trying this at the weekend if I get time, thanks (Going to try with Stevia rather than xylitol).

Please post how it tastes. A bit odd without any flour substitution but who knows

Will do, hopefully I can find time to make them on Saturday. Would love to try sooner, but I have roughly one mountain load of piano practice to do before the weekend.

Gave these a go yesterday, unfortunately the end result was more like charcoal. I spread the mixture way too thin, so it was really over cooked after 50 minutes. I will probably try again in the future though!

I make a chocolate brownie in a mug - my own recipe: 1 scoop (30g) of vanilla protein powder ( 4 g of carbs per 100g), 1 egg, 2 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 tbs cream cheese, 1/4 tsp baking powder, 1 tbs oil, 1 tbs water, sometimes I add extra sweetener. Mix everything in a mug put it in the microwave for 1-2 min (don't leave for too long - it becomes rubbery). Quick and easy. You can leave out the cream cheese or substitute it with Greek yogurt.
