Scale
Main Ingredients
- 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: chocolate chips for topping
Instructions
- Combine ingredients: In a microwave-safe mug, add the cocoa powder, almond butter, maple syrup, milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir vigorously until the batter becomes smooth and fully blended with no lumps remaining.
- Add chocolate chips (optional): Sprinkle a few chocolate chips on top of the batter if desired, which will melt on microwave cooking for extra richness.
- Microwave cooking: Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high power for 45 to 60 seconds, adjusting the time according to your microwave’s wattage. The brownie should appear set on top but remain moist and fudgy in the center.
- Cool and serve: Allow the brownie to cool for about a minute before eating. Enjoy it warm directly from the mug with a spoon for the best experience.
Notes
- For a deeper chocolate flavor, add a pinch of espresso powder to the batter before microwaving.
- You can substitute almond butter with any other nut or seed butter like peanut butter or sunflower seed butter based on preference or dietary needs.
- Adjust the sweetness by changing the amount of maple syrup or honey as desired.
