Total Time: 3 mins
Cuisine: Keto
Serves: 1 serving
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp almond flour
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp erythritol or preferred sweetener
- 1/8 tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp melted butter or coconut oil
- 1 tbsp water
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients and a microwave-safe mug. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for best mixing.
- In the mug, add almond flour, cocoa powder, erythritol, and baking powder. Whisk these dry ingredients together thoroughly using a fork to eliminate any lumps and ensure even distribution.
- Pour melted butter or coconut oil into the dry ingredient mixture. Mix well to create a thick, slightly crumbly consistency.
- Add water and vanilla extract to the mixture. Stir carefully until the batter becomes smooth and no dry spots remain. The texture should be similar to a dense cake batter.
- Use a spatula or spoon to scrape down the sides of the mug, ensuring all ingredients are incorporated.
- Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high power for approximately 45-60 seconds. Cooking time may vary slightly depending on microwave wattage.
- Carefully remove the mug from the microwave (it will be hot) and let it rest for 30-60 seconds to allow the brownie to set and cool slightly.
- Optional: Top with a small dollop of sugar-free whipped cream, a sprinkle of cocoa powder, or a few sugar-free chocolate chips for extra indulgence.
- Enjoy your keto brownie directly from the mug while it's warm and gooey.
Tips
- Ingredient Temperature Matters: Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for smooth mixing and consistent texture.
- Whisk Thoroughly: Take time to eliminate any lumps in the dry ingredients to achieve a smooth, even batter.
- Microwave Precision: Cooking times can vary depending on your microwave's wattage. Start with 45 seconds and adjust as needed to prevent overcooking.
- Don't Overmix: Stir just until ingredients are combined to keep the texture light and fluffy.
- Let It Rest: Allow the mug brownie to sit for 30-60 seconds after cooking to set and cool slightly.
- Customize Your Toppings: Experiment with sugar-free whipped cream, a sprinkle of cocoa powder, or sugar-free chocolate chips for extra indulgence.
- Use a Larger Mug: Choose a mug with plenty of room to prevent overflow during cooking.
- Watch Carefully: Microwave cooking can quickly go from perfect to burnt, so keep a close eye on your brownie.
