Mug Brownie Recipe

Introduction

This quick and easy mug brownie is perfect for satisfying chocolate cravings in minutes. Made with wholesome ingredients and a touch of sweetness, it’s a rich treat that comes together in a flash using just a microwave.

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp Unsalted butter
• 1 tbsp Unsweetened almond milk (at room temperature)
• 1/4 tsp Vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 tbsp Dutch processed cocoa powder
• 1 1/2 tbsp Wholesome Yum Blanched Almond Flour
• 1 1/2 tbsp Besti Monk Fruit Allulose Blend
• 1 pinch Sea salt
• 2 tbsp ChocZero Sugar-free Dark Chocolate Chips (divided)

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a 6-ounce ramekin, melt the butter by heating it for about 30 seconds in the microwave.
2. Step 2: Stir in the almond milk and vanilla extract until combined.
3. Step 3: Add the cocoa powder, almond flour, Besti, and sea salt. Mix well to form a smooth batter.
4. Step 4: Stir in half of the chocolate chips, then smooth the top of the batter.
5. Step 5: Microwave for 40-50 seconds until the top looks slightly oily but isn’t wet underneath. A toothpick inserted should come out with a little batter that can form a small ball when pressed between fingers.
6. Step 6: While the brownie is still hot, sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top so they melt slightly for a gooey finish.

Tips & Variations

• Use room temperature almond milk to help the batter mix smoothly and cook evenly.
• Try adding a pinch of cinnamon or espresso powder to enhance the chocolate flavor.
• For a nut-free version, substitute almond flour with oat flour or all-purpose flour.

Storage

Enjoy your mug brownie immediately for the best texture. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat briefly in the microwave to soften before eating.

FAQs

Can I use regular milk instead of almond milk?

Yes, any milk will work fine. Almond milk was used for a dairy-free option, but regular cow’s milk or other plant-based milks can be substituted without affecting the recipe much.

How do I know when the mug brownie is done?

The top should look a little shiny or oily but not wet. A toothpick inserted will have some moist batter on it—this ensures the brownie stays fudgy rather than dry.
