Single-serving microwave brownie (1 net carb, ~100 cals, 65% cals from fat)
Most of the low-carb brownies I've seen are based on protein powder. This one uses almond butter as a base and makes a nice dense, fudgey brownie. Macros are keto friendly without being crazy high in calories.
INGREDIENTS
1 Tbs creamy almond butter
1 Tbs liquid egg white (or use a tablespoon of beaten egg, I just think liquid egg white is more convenient for this)
1 tsp dutch-processed unsweetened cocoa powder such as Hershey's Special Dark
1/8 tsp vanilla extract
1-2 packets sweetener such as Sweetleaf stevia
Pinch baking soda (about 1/16 tsp; you can try omitting this if you like a denser brownie.)
Pinch salt (can omit if your almond butter is salty)
DIRECTIONS
In a ramekin, small mug, or similar microwave-safe cup, combine all the ingredients. Stir with a fork to thoroughly combine, ensuring that there are no lumps.
Microwave on high for about 30 seconds. Note: You can reduce the time for a "molten" brownie. You may have to experiment a bit with cooking times since all microwaves are different. If you're unsure you can try nuking it at 10 second intervals, checking it each time.
I have to say that looks nice!! I'm going to try this one. A lot of these brownie recipes are often getting quite dry because of the protein powder. I like to experiment in the kitchen.
