Today I was not sugar-free. I try to be most days, and I succeed quite often. But not today.
After my work and chores for today I felt like a treat, and of course we had none. I didn't feel like making a big to-do so I settled on our son Justin's desperate measure: Brownie in a Mug. Justin has since changed the recipe, but I find this one satisfactory.
Here's how to make it: put all these things in your mug, mix them up, and microwave from 40 to 90 seconds.
Ingredients:
1/4 C flour
1/4 C sugar
2 T cocoa
2 T veg oil (I used coconut)
1/4 t vanilla
2 T water
Suggestions for serving include ice cream or whipped cream (I didn't have either). I just poured milk in and ate it with a spoon.
Do you have a go-to emergency treat? Please share it with me!
