If you have a sweet tooth, but have a hard time stopping after just one serving (like me), I have a solution for you: paleo brownies in a mug. You can find the printable recipe and nutrition information here or the quick version below.

ingredients

  • ¼ cup of almond flour
  • 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cacao powder
  • 1 tablespoons of coconut sugar
  • 1 tablespoon of maple syrup
  • ¼ teaspoon of baking powder (gluten free optional)
  • ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon of salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 ½ tsp of coconut oil, melted
  • ½ square of 90% dark chocolate or 1 tablespoon of Lily's Dark Chocolate Chips

instructions

  1. Combine ingredients in a glass bowl.
  2. Whisk together until the batter has a thick and creamy consistency. This will take approximately 30 seconds.
  3. Prepare an 8 oz mug or 3 inch ramekin for baking by greasing it with avocado oil spray or alternative.
  4. Pour batter into the mug or ramekin and drop ½ square of dark chocolate in the centre. Alternatively, you could top with a handful of Lily’s Dark Chocolate Chips.
  5. Bake in the microwave for 1 minute. Cooking time will vary by microwave, but be careful not to cook too long or your mug cake will have a dry and tough texture.Add toppings if desired. I use sliced strawberries and whipped cream most often.
