Lightly coat a 12-ounce microwave-safe bowl with cooking spray. In the bowl, whisk together the protein powder, cocoa powder, baking powder, and a pinch of fine salt. Stir in the egg whites, applesauce, half the maple syrup, half the vanilla extract, and the water until a smooth, thick batter forms.
Microwave on high for 45 seconds. Check the center; it should look set and no longer wet but still soft. If needed, continue in 10-second intervals for up to 75 seconds total. Remove from the microwave and let cool for 5 to 10 minutes until barely warm to the touch. Done when edges are set and center is soft.
While the brownie cools, stir the Greek yogurt, the remaining maple syrup, the remaining vanilla extract, and the rest of the fine salt in a small bowl until smooth and pale caramel-beige.
Mound the yogurt frosting onto the cooled brownie. Sprinkle the flaky sea salt over the top and serve immediately while the brownie is still slightly warm. Done when 160°F in the thickest part.
