Half Baked Vegan Mug Brownie
Description
The recipe starts by mixing cacao powder and vegan chocolate protein powder with wet ingredients including vanilla extract, almond milk, maple syrup, and dairy-free butter. Chocolate chips are stirred in before shaping the batter flat in a mug or ramekin. The batter is microwaved for just over a minute, then allowed to cool slightly to set the flavors and texture.
This vegan mug brownie has a dense consistency from the protein powder and dense batter but achieves a brownie-like richness through the combination of cacao and butter. Cooling for 30 to 60 seconds after microwaving is important to allow the brownie to firm up slightly and balance flavors. The recipe notes that depending on the protein powder type, extra almond milk may be needed to adjust batter consistency.
Best eaten freshly prepared, as leftovers can become hard and crunchy when chilled. Using a short mug or ramekin is recommended for more even cooking. The flavor and texture depend significantly on the protein powder choice, so a sweetened, chocolate-flavored powder enhances the result.
