I’ve always had a sweet tooth (hello, dark chocolate!), but my healthy dessert game is strong right now because of my pregnancy. If I can’t enjoy a nice glass of French red, then I’m definitely going to have a post dinner dessert. As much as I try to buy healthy treats from a bakery or a store, I just can’t get myself to do it 99% of the time because:
- The ingredients aren’t up to my standards
- I know I can recreate it at home with a lot of love
While not every recipe comes out amazing the first time I make it, it truly brings me joy to create a healthy recipe that is made with nutrient dense ingredients, low in sugar + satisfies my sweet tooth. This brownie will make all of your dessert dreams come true!
- 4 tbsp almond flour
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cacao powder
- 1 tbsp coconut sugar or maple syrup
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- 2 tbsp unsweetened almond milk
- ½ tbsp coconut oil, melted
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp vegan chocolate chips
- 1-2 scoops vegan ice cream
- Mix dry ingredients (except chocolate chips) in a mug
- Add in wet ingredients and stir until well combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Place in the microwave for 1 minute. Then continue to bake in the microwave for increments of 10 seconds until the brownies are set and a toothpick comes out clean. (I baked mine for 1 minute and 30 seconds but every microwave is different.)
- Let it cool for a few minutes and serve with vegan ice cream. Enjoy!
Enjoy this little piece of heaven!
With Health + Happiness Always,
Jax
