Description

A fudgy, single-serve sugar free mug brownie made with black cocoa and tahini that's low glycemic and blood sugar friendly.


Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp coconut flour (8g)
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder (10g)
  • 1½ tbsp powdered erythritol/monk fruit blend (18g) or other powdered sweetener
  • ¼ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp espresso powder (optional)
  • Small pinch of fine sea salt
  • 1½ tbsp runny tahini, smooth (24g)
  • 1½ tbsp unsweetened almond milk (22g) or regular milk
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp dark chocolate chips (20g), optional
  • Flaky sea salt for top, optional


Instructions

  1. Lightly grease a 4-inch ramekin or wide microwave-safe bowl.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk the coconut flour, black cocoa, sweetener, baking powder, optional espresso powder, and a small pinch of salt together with a fork. Break up any clumps.
  3. In a second bowl, whisk the tahini, almond milk, and vanilla together until completely smooth.
  4. Pour the dry into the wet and stir until you have a smooth, thick batter.
  5. Fold in chocolate chips. Transfer to the prepared ramekin (don't fill past ⅔).
  6. Microwave on high for 45 seconds at 1200W. See notes for other wattages. The center should look just set but still slightly soft.
  7. Top with flaky sea salt while warm. Eat with a spoon.

Notes

Espresso powder is an optional addition that makes the chocolate flavor really stand out.

If you want to use almond flour, swap the 1 tbsp coconut flour for 3 tbsp (24g) almond flour and add 10 seconds to the cook time.
