This fudgy brownie for one is an easy, lower sugar recipe that makes a small serving. NO eggs, dairy, or gluten!
With only two teaspoons of added sweetener, this whole grain brownie is a delicious and healthy way to feel indulgent.
I served this to my husband one day, and he LOVED it.
I've found one of the keys to a good fudgy brownie is little to no leavening agent (baking soda, baking powder, etcetera). I use just a tiny pinch here, which counteracts the bitterness of the cocoa and helps the brownie bake.
I like to top my brownie with a combination of sweetened and unsweetened chocolate to further lower the sugar.
Ingredients and substitutions
- Oat and light buckwheat flours - You can use all oat, if preferred, but I enjoy both the taste and benefits of buckwheat flour.
- Cocoa powder
- Baking soda
- Sea salt
- Applesauce - I always have my Instant Pot Applesauce on hand!
- Melted oil or butter - Grapeseed and coconut oils are my favorite.
- Coconut sugar - Any granulated variety will work.
- Vanilla extract
- Milk - See my Tips below!
- Chopped chocolate or chocolate chips, for the top.
Lower sugar tips
- Use my Homemade Coconut Milk to aid with natural sweetness.
- Use a combination of unsweetened chopped chocolate and sweetened chocolate as the topping. This is what I always do!
- Add in a few drops of stevia for extra sweetness.
- Substitute the oil for another tablespoon of applesauce.
