This vegan mug brownie is prepped in minutes and takes around 30 minutes to bake but it turns into a perfect single-serve brownie.

Ingredients

  • 1 TB + 2 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3 TB All purpose flour
  • 1.5 TB brown sugar
  • 1 TB white sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • pinch salt
  • 1 TB peanut butter
  • ½ TB vegan butter
  • 3 TB non dairy milk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 TB vegan chocolate chips More or less depending on what you like

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Grease a small oven-safe mug or ramekin and set it aside.
  • Take a heat-safe bowl and add your peanut butter and vegan butter. Melt in the microwave until the vegan butter is just melted and the peanut butter is melty.
  • Add the remaining ingredients minus the vegan chocolate chips and stir until combined. Now add the vegan chocolate chips and stir.
  • Get your prepared ramekin and add your batter, smooth the top, add a few more chocolate chips to the top, and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean. I like to underbake mine slightly.
  • Let it sit on a cooling rack until it's cool enough to enjoy. You can add a scoop of ice cream or eat as is.

Notes

Storing- I don't think you'll be doing much storing with this since it's an individual brownie, but if you need to, you can place it in an airtight container on the counter for up to 3 days. 
Freezing- I have never frozen this since it hasn't lasted that long, but you could. I would underbake it slightly, let it cool completely to room temperature, then carefully remove it from its ramekin and place it in a freezer safe container for up to 3 months.
 Let it sit on the counter to defrost, then heat at half power in the microwave for about 30 seconds or until warm. 
Expert Tips and Tricks- 
  • Don't over-mix the brownie batter.
  • Grease the bottom of the mug well so that it doesn't stick to the mug.
  • I prefer to use a ramekin because mugs vary so much in size.
  • If you're using a mug, make sure to watch the baking time because of the varied size.
