Ingredients
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: 1 tablespoon chocolate chips
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 thoroughly until the mixture forms a smooth, uniform batter.
- Add Chocolate Chips (Optional): If you like extra chocolatey bites, fold in 1 tablespoon of chocolate chips to the batter for added richness and texture.
- Microwave the Brownie: Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 45 to 60 seconds. The brownie should be set on top but still soft and fudgy in the center to keep the perfect gooey texture.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the brownie to cool for 1 to 2 minutes before eating directly from the mug. This resting time helps achieve the perfect consistency and prevents burning your mouth.
Notes
- Microwave power levels vary; start checking at 45 seconds to avoid overcooking.
- For an extra gooey brownie, slightly undercook and top with ice cream or whipped cream.
- Use almond butter for a gluten-free and dairy-free option, or peanut butter if preferred.
- Maple syrup can be substituted with honey, but note that it is not vegan.
