Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar or sugar substitute
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk (or any low-calorie milk)
- 0.25 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon mini chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
In a microwave-safe mug or small bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, granulated sugar or sugar substitute, and pinch of salt until evenly combined.
Add the unsweetened almond milk and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir the mixture until smooth and there are no lumps.
If desired, sprinkle mini chocolate chips on top of the batter for added texture and sweetness.
Microwave the mug or bowl on high for 45-60 seconds, depending on the power of your microwave. Start checking at the 45-second mark—the brownie should look set but still moist in the center.
Carefully remove the mug from the microwave (it will be hot) and let the brownie cool for 1-2 minutes before enjoying.
Optional: Top with a dollop of Greek yogurt, fresh berries, or a light sprinkle of powdered sugar for extra flavor!
