Vegan Chocolate Brownie In A Mug

Wednesdays have been throwing me off lately. I try to stay at least one day ahead on blog posts, so a post is ready to go if I am busy one day and I can just hit 'publish'. But for some reason I never have them ready for Wednesdays. I prepr on the weekend, and on Thursday, but Wednesdays? I know I am busy on Wednesdays and get home very late. But here it is now, just before tomorrow and I haven't put a post up yet. 

Here's something quick; simple but delicious. A good choice for those humpday Wednesdays when you just need a chocolate fix to get you through the rest of the week, but don't have time for effort. In less than five minutes you can make, cook, and eat this delicious, and healthy brownie option.

Individual Vegan Microwave Chocolate Brownie
1/4 cup whole wheat flour (can use plain or probably a gluten-free option)
2 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 Tablespoon nut butter
1 Tablespoon blackstrap molasses (or sub maple syrup for a sweeter taste)
2 Tablespoons non-dairy milk
optional: splash vanilla or preferred extract, sprinkle of cinnamon, dash of chocolate chips or chopped nuts

Mix all ingredients together well. I find this works better if you do this in a small bowl, then transfer the mixture to a small, microwave-safe mug, but if you only want to dirty one dish, you can mix it right in the mug. Microwave on HIGH (100% power). I LOVE my brownies ooey and gooey, so I only microwaved for 30 seconds. If you prefer a more cake-like brownie, microwave for up to two minutes. I recommend cooking it in thirty second intervals and checking to see how set it is. 

I topped my brownie with quick chocolate sauce (cocoa powder and molasses heated until smooth) and cashew coconut butter. A yummy afternoon snack!
