Wet Ingredients
- 1 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp Unsweetened almond milk (at room temperature)
- 1/4 tsp Vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 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
Add-ins
- 2 tbsp ChocZero Sugar-free Dark Chocolate Chips (divided)
- Melting the Butter: In a 6-ounce ramekin, melt the butter by heating it in the microwave for about 30 seconds until fully melted.
- Mixing Wet Ingredients: Stir the almond milk and vanilla extract into the melted butter until well combined.
- Combining Dry Ingredients: Add the cocoa powder, almond flour, Besti Monk Fruit Allulose Blend, and sea salt to the wet mixture. Stir thoroughly to create a smooth, consistent batter.
- Adding Chocolate Chips: Fold in half of the chocolate chips into the batter evenly, then smooth the top of the mixture in the ramekin.
- Microwaving the Brownie: Microwave the batter for 40-50 seconds until the top looks slightly oily but is not wet underneath. A toothpick inserted should come out with some moist batter that can form a ball when pinched, indicating the brownie is cooked but still soft inside.
- Finishing Touch: While the brownie is still hot, sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top so they melt slightly, adding a rich chocolate finish.
