Prep Time: 5 mins
Cook Time: 1 mins
Total Time: 6 mins
Cuisine: Paleo
Serves: 1 serving
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp coconut oil, melted
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and ensure they are at room temperature. Prepare a microwave-safe mug or small ramekin.
- In the mug, melt the coconut oil by microwaving for 10-15 seconds until completely liquid.
- Add maple syrup to the melted coconut oil and whisk thoroughly using a fork to combine.
- Sift almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt directly into the mug with the liquid ingredients.
- Mix all ingredients carefully with a fork or small whisk until a smooth, uniform batter forms. Ensure no dry lumps remain.
- Smooth the surface of the batter with the back of a spoon to create an even layer.
- Microwave on high power for 45-60 seconds. Cooking time may vary slightly depending on microwave wattage.
- Check doneness by inserting a toothpick - it should come out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter.
- Let the brownie cool in the mug for 1-2 minutes to allow it to set and become more fudgy.
- Optional: Top with a sprinkle of extra cocoa powder or a few chopped nuts for added texture.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth mixing and even cooking.
- Sifting dry ingredients prevents lumps and creates a more consistent texture.
- Watch your microwave time carefully - every wattage is different, so start with 45 seconds and adjust as needed.
- For extra richness, use high-quality cocoa powder and pure maple syrup.
- Let the brownie rest for 1-2 minutes after cooking to achieve the perfect fudgy consistency.
- Experiment with toppings like chopped nuts, a sprinkle of sea salt, or a dollop of coconut cream for variety.
- If you prefer a less sweet version, reduce maple syrup slightly or use a sugar-free alternative.
- Always use a microwave-safe mug or ramekin to prevent any cooking mishaps.
