Ingredients

Brownie Ingredients

2 tablespoons almond butter (or peanut butter)
2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
1 tablespoon milk (dairy or non-dairy)
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
1 tablespoon chocolate chips (optional)

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

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 well with a fork until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
Add Chocolate Chips (Optional): Mix in the chocolate chips evenly for extra melty chocolate pockets throughout the brownie.
Microwave: Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 45 to 60 seconds, depending on your microwave’s power. The brownie should be set around the edges but slightly gooey in the center for the perfect texture.
Cool and Serve: Let the brownie cool for 1 to 2 minutes to allow it to firm up slightly before enjoying your warm, single-serving dessert.

Notes

Use dark cocoa powder for a richer chocolate flavor.
Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
This recipe is naturally gluten-free and can easily be vegan by using plant-based milk and vegan chocolate chips.
Adjust microwave time accordingly, as microwaves vary in power.
