Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Base
- 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
Chocolate Chips
- 2 tbsp ChocZero Sugar-free Dark Chocolate Chips (divided)
Instructions
- Prepare the Butter: In a 6-ounce ramekin, melt the unsalted butter by heating it in the microwave for about 30 seconds until fully melted.
- Add Liquids: Stir in the almond milk and vanilla extract thoroughly to combine with the melted butter.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: Add the Dutch processed cocoa powder, blanched almond flour, Besti Monk Fruit Allulose Blend, and a pinch of sea salt. Mix everything well until you have a smooth batter.
- Incorporate Chocolate Chips: Stir in half of the dark chocolate chips into the batter, then smooth the top evenly in the ramekin.
- Microwave Cook: Microwave the mixture for 40 to 50 seconds. The brownie should appear slightly oily on top but not wet underneath. Insert a toothpick to check; it should come out with a bit of batter that can be pinched into a ball, indicating fudgy doneness.
- Add Garnish: While still hot, sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top. They will melt slightly, adding extra gooey chocolate flavor to your mug brownie.
Notes
- Use a 6-ounce ramekin to ensure proper cooking and portion size.
- Microwave ovens vary; start checking at 40 seconds to avoid overcooking.
- The oils on top will reabsorb as the brownie cools, so don’t be alarmed if it looks oily right after cooking.
- For a dairy-free version, replace butter with coconut oil and ensure chocolate chips are dairy-free.
- To make it vegan, use a vegan butter substitute and plant-based milk.
