This quick and easy recipe is better for you than your average brownie. Stir together the batter in a coffee cup, microwave for about 90 seconds -- and voila -- enjoy a warm brownie straight from the mug! For a boost of nutrition, the batter is made with coconut sugar and whole-wheat pastry flour rather than highly processed white sugar and white flour.
INGREDIENTS
SERVES 2
- 1 tbsp Grapeseed Oil
- 1 Free Range Large Eggs
- 1/4 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
- 1/2 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
- 1/8 tsp peppermint extract
- 1/8 tsp Sea Salt
- 3 tbsp Coconut Sugar
- 3 tbsp Cocoa, dry powder, unsweetened, HERSHEY'S European Style Cocoa
- 1 Mini Candy Cane
- 3 tbsp Organic Whole Wheat Pastry Flour, Stone Ground
DIRECTIONS
1
Add the grapeseed oil (or avocado oil) to a large (12-ounce or larger capacity) microwave-safe mug. Swirl or brush the inside of the mug with the oil to coat.
2
Add the egg, almond milk (or coconut milk beverage), extracts, and salt and whisk until combined.
3
Then stir in coconut sugar (or turbinado sugar), cocoa powder, and flour until evenly combined.
4
Microwave on HIGH for 1 minute 15 seconds for a fudgy brownie, or 1 minute 30 seconds for a cakier brownie. (Note: Microwave cooking times vary.)
5
Remove mug from microwave and let stand for 5 minutes.
6
Enjoy straight from the mug or invert and serve without mug. Insert candy cane (preferably organic) to serve.
