Free of EVERYTHING Mug Brownie (Healthy,Vegan, Gluten Free + Dairy Free)

Tweet

The venerate mug brownie will forever hold a special place in my heart as it was one of the first creations I consistently made as a ten-year-old child. My knowledge and skill in the kitchen was exponentially lacking, but mixing stuff in a mug and pressing buttons on a microwave is something achievable by even the simplest of minds. At one point, I was making a mug brownie nearly every night… that was before I grew health-conscious and realized the long-tern damage of indulging in brownies every night haha.

Of course, this recipe contains obvious appeal as it is substantially more nutritious than its competitors, but even the fact that it is made of oatmeal instead of flour makes it that much more captivating. Just to list a few of oatmeal’s merits…

• It is CHEAP – you can buy a whole box for… around two bucks! #score

• Oatmeal results in a FUDGY texture – Oatmeal’s uniquely creamy texture contributes to the irresistible texture of these brownies.

• Oatmeal is accessible – Nearly everyone already has oatmeal in their pantry.

• It is HEALTHY – Haha… Duh.

This lovely recipe comes together almost instantaneously and involves only 5 whole ingredients. The only thing holding you back from whipping it up RIGHT NOW is two minutes of your time… literally.

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup oat flour (roughly 1/3 cup of blended rolled oats that is sifted)

• 2-3 Tablespoons cacao or cocoa powder

• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1 Tablespoon coconut oil, melted (or other light oil)

• 2 Tablespoon maple syrup

• 3 Tablespoon water (or nut milk for a creamy alternative)

Directions

• Whisk all the ingredients in a large mug until smooth. Microwave the mix for 60-90 seconds, or until a toothpick stuck in the enter comes out clean. Alternatively, you can choose to undercook the mug brownie for a gooey, lava cake-like creation.
• Top with anything you please, such as dairy-free vanilla ice cream, raspberries, or dark chocolate. Serve immediately.

Notes

• You can replace the water or nut milk with coffee for a fun alternative.
• Consider experimenting with fun additives such as orange, mint, berries, dark chocolate, nuts + nut butter, ect.
• Want to make a cake instead of a brownie? Simply add an egg to the mix… or better yet… also add chocolate (preferably dark) in the center for a melty “lava” cake.
