Prep time: 10 minutes
Serves: 1
A super easy refined sugar free cake that’s delicious on its own or extra yum when topped with zesty cream cheese icing.
Perfect for when that chocolate craving hits you hard. Most mug brownie recipes I’ve found use egg so are quite light and can be a bit “eggy”. My version is dense and decadent and only takes 5-10 minutes to prepare in the microwave.
Ingredients
- 2 tblsp almond meal flour
- ½ tbsp cocoa powder
- 3 tsp natvia sweetener (or similar granulated sweetener)
- 1 tbsp almond butter
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- 2 tblsp coconut milk (or other preferred milk)
Method
MICROWAVE VERSION
- Grease one large mug with lots of butter and cooking spray.
- Place all ingredients in your mug and stir well with fork or small whisk until well combined. Wipe down sides of mug if needed.
- Place mug in microwave on high for 90 seconds.
- Allow to cool when removed from microwave as brownie will be very hot.
- Eat straight from cup with cream/coconut cream or serve in a bowl with added berries or sugar free ice cream.
OVEN VERSION
- Preheat oven to 180°C (fan forced).
- Grease a small ramekin with lots of butter and cooking spray
- Place all ingredients in a small mixing bowl and stir well with fork or small whisk until well combined.
- Pour mixture into small ramekin and bake for 15 minutes.
- Allow to cool when removed from oven as brownie will be very hot.
- Eat straight from ramekin with cream/coconut cream or serve in a bowl with added berries or sugar free ice-cream.

About Linda
After changing to a low-sugar real food diet over 3 years ago and experiencing huge health improvements, Linda wanted to create some Australian-made products to help others on a similar journey. The biggest challenge she had at the start of changing to a low sugar eating style was finding an easy replacement for her beloved sweet treats, especially at family celebrations. Drawing on her background as a cookbook author and food writer, Linda spent many months in the kitchen fine-tuning the recipes that are used in these mixes. Please check out Linda’s website for more details and know that she’ll be doing a super happy dance every time someone places an order.
