3 Ingredient Flourless Nutella Brownie Mug Cake
A single serving fudgy Nutella brownie that is just 3 ingredients and cooks in the microwave.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp mashed banana, about 30 grams or half a medium banana (see note)
- 2 tbsp Nutella spread
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp chopped semisweet chocolate, optional
Instructions
- Add banana, Nutella and cocoa powder into a microwave safe mug. Mix with a small whisk until batter is smooth. The batter should be thick, much like regular brownie batter.
- If adding chocolate, stir it into the batter. Cook brownie in microwave at full power for about 1 minute and 15 seconds. Allow brownie to cool slightly before eating. If you enjoy a gooier brownie you can cook a little less time.
Notes
- Use a very ripe banana as it will be easier to mash. You want to mash the banana until it is almost in a pureed state before you measure out your 2 tablespoons. Keep in mind that 2 tbsp of mashed banana is not the same as 2 tbsp of whole/unmashed banana.
- Be careful when measuring out your Nutella and cocoa powder. Add too much or too little can significantly change the consistency of the brownie.
- Since this brownie is flourless and eggless, you can undercook it if you prefer a gooier brownie.
- Because of how rich this brownie is, the portion is smaller than that of a typical mug cake. You can make this in a small ramekin or an espresso mug.
