Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp. Creamy Almond Butter
- 1 Tbsp. Beaten Egg White (You want to make sure it’s quite airrated)
- 1 tsp. Cocoa Powder (I use unsweetened cocoa powder)
- 1/8 tsp. Vanilla Extract
- 3 Drops Liquid Sucralose or Stevia
- Pinch Baking Soda (Just about 1/16 of a Tsp. but you can leave this out if you want a denser brownie)
- Pinch Salt (You don’t need this if you used salted almond butter)
- HOW CAN THIS GET EVEN BETTER?
- Almonds or Pecans (My sweet favorite)
- Orange or Lemon extract
- Da Vinci Sugar Free Chocolate Syrup
- Da Vinci Sugar Free Caramel Syrup
Instructions
- Get a microwave-safe cup or container.
- In a small bowl, add the egg whites and beat them until they are airrated (nice and frothy).
- Put all ingredients into the cup and mix them together well with a fork.
- Stick the cup in the microwave for 40 seconds, but this one is an experiment (all microwaves are not created equal).
- If you want a more “molten brownie” consistency, shave 10 seconds off.
- Remove from microwave and top it with whatever you’d like. I chose some Da Vinci Sugar Free Chocolate Syrup.
