Ingredients

  • 1 egg see recipe notes for how to make this egg-free
  • 2 tbsp nut/seed butter (32 g) I used almond butter
  • 1 tbsp sugar (12 g) add some additional sweetener for a very sweet cake
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder (6 g)
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • drop of vanilla, pinch of salt
  • 1 tbsp chocolate chips (15 g)

Instructions

  • If using the oven, preheat to 350F and grease two small ramekins (mine are 1/2 cup).
  • In a small bowl beat egg, add all but chocolate and whisk to combine until smooth. The batter should be thick but pourable, if not add 1/2 tsp water at a time and stir until it is.
  • Stir in chocolate chips.
  • Pour into ramekins and bake 15 minutes or microwave 40-60 sec (stop when it stops rising).
  • Enjoy with any toppings!

Notes

  • Make this egg-free with either of the following two methods:
    • use an egg replacer.
    • sub 1/2 mashed ripe banana or 1/4 cup applesauce but also increase baking powder to 1/2 tsp.
  • I made this with a very ripe banana and it came out as a fantastic brownie, it even had that shiny crackly skin on top, try it!
