BROWNIE

THREE (3) MINUTE BROWNIE RECIPE!

The best thing ever is been able to make good food in short period of time and for a person like me that love chocolate, I always have a treat once in a while. So I saw my flatmate making mug cake and I have always heard of this but never tried it, then I decided to make it too. I watched YouTube videos about mug cakes and brownies and in conclusion, to reduce the calories and fat content and yet make a yummy, healthy, simple brownie, I came up with my own recipe, which I will be sharing with you today. I tried this twice. The first and second recipe was both good. The only ingredient I change was the olive oil quantity for the second one (to reduce fat content) and also added oat to it, reducing the flour content and they both tasted amazing. The oat also added a nice finishing touch to the brownie, making it more aesthetic. Oatmeal has more fiber and really good for satisfaction, so I always add this to my breakfast; smoothie or even a oatmeal porridge or pudding. For more information, check out my previous blog on oatmeal and different ways to eat it, both as snack or breakfast.


I did not buy any ingredients to make this as I used what I found in my cupboard, this is why I have not use egg as well. You might be lucky enough to have all these ingredients for this recipe in your cupboard as well, so do not forget to try it for breakfast, maybe on a cheat or chocolaty day. It is a very simple recipe and required no specific skills, even my little cousin will be able to make it, and it only takes three (3) minute. Two (2) minute preparation and a minute to cook in the microwave.
Lets get busy!

look at that, gorgeous.

Ingredients

1 teaspoon flour (any type)
11/2  tsp Oatmeal
11/2 tsp cocoa powder
1 tsp Olive oil or any
2 tsp Honey: sweetener can be use too, but I prefer the taste of honey. Using sweetener will reduce the calorie content, which is good. Sweetener have like 1-2 calories and some have 0 calories, while honey is high in calorie but natural and healthy too.
Pinch of salt
Pinch of Baking Soda or Baking powder
Water to mix.
Peanut butter, to top (optional)

This Brownie recipe in total is a estimate of 185 calorie, which is not too bad. However if you use sweetener, it can come down to about 135 calorie, because you wont be using honey. This is rich in fat and would not be ideal to take everyday. Maybe once in a while or in two weeks, just as a healthy treat.

Preparation

Add all the dry ingredients in a mug and stir together, then gradually add water using a spoon and mix till a little runny. Put in the microwave for 50 seconds to 1 minute and that is it. All done.

You can top with peanut butter, yum.

Let me know if you tried this recipe and what you think of it.
