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)
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
Add the unsweetened almond milk and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir the mixture until smooth and there are no lumps.
Step 3
If desired, sprinkle mini chocolate chips on top of the batter for added texture and sweetness.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Carefully remove the mug from the microwave (it will be hot) and let the brownie cool for 1-2 minutes before enjoying.
Step 6
Optional: Top with a dollop of Greek yogurt, fresh berries, or a light sprinkle of powdered sugar for extra flavor!
