Microwave Chocolate Brownie Recipe Now Vegan!



I bought a recipe book for microwave mug cakes recently, and was very surprised with how good the results were!

So I decided to make up an inspired recipe myself.

It tastes so good, it has to be posted up right this second! So here goes..

It might be gluten free and slightly lower gi, but in no way is it healthy! And I would recommend sharing this with a lucky loved one, as I can't finish it!

It's pure heaven though!

2 tablespoons Dairy free marge or coconut oil
1 tablespoon vegan milk
2 tablespoons coconut sugar
1 tablespoon Soft dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
2 tablespoons sugar free chocolate chips
half a tsp vanilla extract
3 and a half tablespoons gluten free self raising flour
a quarter teaspoon of xanthan gum  


Melt the marge/coconut oil in the microwave for 10-20 seconds until melted.
Add the sugar and cocoa powder and mix until smooth. Add the vanilla extract, xanthan gum  and the egg yolk and mix.
Now add the gf self raising flour and chocolate chips. Mix well. 


In a 800 watt microwave, cook for 1 and a half to 2 minutes

Leave to cool for about 5 minutes as this brownie in a mug will still be cooking.

It doesn't look much, But it tastes Amazing!




Dig in with a spoon when it's warm/cool enough to eat!

Vanilla Seeds


                 
These vanilla seeds are so tasty, and they only take minutes to make! 
Use as a tasty yummy treat, snack, or topping.
Ingredients: USA cups

half a cup sunflower seeds
3 quarters of a cup of pumpkin seeds 
2 tablespoons coconut sugar 
1 tablespoon coconut oil 
half a teaspoon of vanilla extract

In a frying pan, heat the oil on high - add the seeds and stir until all the seeds are coated in the coconut oil.
Turn the heat right down to low. Add the coconut sugar and continue to stir.
You may hear the seeds popping.
  The seeds will burn if you stop stirring them!
Once the coconut sugar has coated most of the seeds, remove from the heat and transfer
the seeds into a glass bowl.
Immediately add the vanilla extract - the seeds should sizzle. Stir with a metal spoon making sure the seeds don't touch you as they will be very hot.

I like mine on Dairy free yoghurt and sweet curries!
