Today seems like a good day for chocolate. And that holds true no matter what day you’re reading this post.

Because when is a brownie a bad idea? Especially one that’s on the healthier side. And made in two minutes. In a mug. Just for you.

Or I guess you could make two if you feel like sharing…

How To Make A Healthy Two Minute Brownie

  • Start by mixing the dry ingredients together in a small bowl. You could technically mix them right in whatever dish you’ll be tossing in the microwave, but I used an 8 oz. ramekin and those little guys don’t leave much room for enthusiastic mixing. I found that prepping the batter in a small bowl and then transferring it to my ramekin worked best.
  • Coconut flour is a must for this recipe. It’s just really unique in how it absorbs liquid, so there aren’t really any substitutes that will give the same result.
  • After you add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, spend a little bit of time mixing the batter so that the sugar granules have time to dissolve. It’s not a huge issue if you don’t, but it helps distribute the sweetness more evenly.
  • Because microwaves have different strengths and I don’t know what yours will be like in comparison to mine, the cooking time of 2 minutes is mostly a good guestimate. If you find that at 2 minutes your brownie isn’t done, nuke it for another 30 seconds. If 2 minutes makes it too tough, try 90 seconds.
  • To make this brownie nut-free, replace the almond milk with another non-dairy milk like rice or soy and the nut butter with a soy nut butter.
  • Feel free to play around with the amount of sugar you add. If you want more of a dark chocolate taste, only add 1 tsp of sugar or skip it all together, especially if you plan to add chocolate chips. You can also use 1 tsp of maple syrup to make this brownie refined sugar-free.
  • I don’t recommend adding the chocolate chips to the brownie before you cook it. I like to sprinkle them on top so they get all melty and produce a pseudo-frosting, and I found that doing so prior to cooking prevented the brownie from rising as much. The brownie will still be hot enough after cooking to melt any chocolate chips sprinkled on it.
  • OR get creative with your toppings! A drizzle of nut butter, a scoop of ice cream, a dollop of whipped cream. Anything goes!

Okay, But What’s It Like?

There’s a good handful of reasons for why you need this healthy two minute brownie in your life.

Reason #1:it’s healthy… or as healthy as you can make a brownie without sacrificing on texture and taste. I’ve seen a bunchof brownie in-a-mug recipes that call for a few tablespoons of oil and 1/4 cup of sugar forone serving. I try not to get too hung up about stuff like that, but that’s kind of a lot if you want to eat it on a regular basis.

Thisbrownie, on the other hand? This incredibly fudgy, dense, and chocolatey little gem that’s made with NO flour, butter, or oil, and can be made without refined sugar as well? You can happily enjoy it every.single.day.

Reason #2: it’s super quick and easy to make, and you don’t have to worry about having any pesky leftovers lying around. All it takes is twominutes and a handful of simple ingredientsto makeoneperfectly sized treat that’ll knockthose chocolate cravings out of the park. And the fact that it’sgluten-free,vegan, and easily madenut-freeand refined sugar-free meansanyone can enjoy it.

Reason #3: it’s fudgy, moist, chocolatey, and 100% guaranteed to induceinappropriate noises.

Happy eating!
