Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Batter
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons almond butter (or peanut butter)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)
- 1 tablespoon milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Optional
- 1 tablespoon chocolate chips
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a microwave-safe mug, add the unsweetened cocoa powder, almond butter, maple syrup, milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir thoroughly until the mixture forms a smooth and cohesive batter without any lumps.
- Add Chocolate Chips (Optional): If you desire extra chocolate richness, gently fold in 1 tablespoon of chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter to ensure melted pockets of chocolate in the brownie.
- Microwave Cooking: Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high power for 45 to 60 seconds. Keep an eye on the brownie; it should be set on top but still soft and fudgy in the center when done.
- Cool and Serve: Let the brownie cool for 1 to 2 minutes inside the mug to allow it to firm up slightly. Enjoy it warm directly from the mug or add toppings like ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
Notes
- Microwave ovens vary in power, so start by microwaving for 45 seconds and adjust time as needed to prevent overcooking.
- For a gooier texture, slightly undercook the brownie and top it with ice cream or whipped cream for a decadent dessert experience.
