Ok, I have a little confession to make . . .

I don’t really like to share my food.

Rarely, ever.

Don’t get me wrong if I make or eat something seriously incredible and want to share the experience with you I absolutely will but, if/when I can I’ll give you one of your own to enjoy rather than just a bite or taste of mine.

I do like the idea and thoughtful, romantic sentiment behind sharing. Especially when you go out for a fancy meal but . . .

You and I both know, it almost always ends in tears.

Not literal tears, unless your having to share with a sibling and in that case, all bets are off – sorry Sis.

We all know when it comes to sharing food, it doesn’t matter if it’s a plate of fries (give me all the super crispy ones and no one gets hurt!) a piece of cake, a chocolate bar, sandwich, anything . . . you have your eye set on one specific section, a particular bite that you think looks the most delicious and want to save and savor as your last mouthful but the other person almost always swoops in and steals it right from under your nose!

Every. Single. Time.

The horror!

It’s heartbreaking.

But, you know what helps get over heart break . . .

brownies and ice cream . . .

So dry those tears friends, my insanely delicious, super simple single serve salted dark chocolate almond butter brownie is here to save the day!

Crispy on the edges, super fudgy in the middle seriously, life changing!

Not even kidding.

Single serve desserts, where have you been all my life?!

It’s such a brilliant idea, even if I do say so myself!

And I mean, would you just look at it?!

So deliciously rich and chocolatey and ALLLL MINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And just when you thought you couldn’t love me, I mean it any more . . .

It’s made with just a handful of ingredients that I bet you have on hand already and comes together in one bowl in less than 10 minutes!!!!

No blending, no whisking so you can make (and devour) it in (blissful) silence, after you’ve put the kids to bed  . . . no evidence left behind!!!!

Gluten Free  – Dairy free – EGG FREE – Grain free – Refined sugar free – Low carb – Paleo – Keto – Vegan – SOOOOO GOOD!!

One bowl + 10 minutes and you too could be devouring the awesomeness that is the deliciously indulgent, seriously chocolaty, super fudgy (secretly healthy) salted dark chocolate almond butter brownie!

Stop what you’re doing, this needs to happen now!

Make it. Eat it. Love, love, love it.

Single Serve Salted Dark Chocolate Almond Butter Brownie
{EGG FREE – Dairy Free – Gluten Free – Refined Sugar Free – Low Carb – Vegan – Keto – Paleo}

Makes 1 deliciously indulgent, seriously chocolaty, super fudgy, salted dark chocolate almond butter brownie!

Ingredients –

2 Tablespoons of almond butter

3 Tablespoons of vanilla almond milk – or milk of choice

1/2 teaspoon of vanilla

2 Tablespoons of coconut flour

1 Tablespoon of cacao

2 teaspoons of monk fruit sweetener (sub coconut sugar)

1/4 teaspoon of instant espresso – Optional to help enhance the richness of the cacao

1/2 teaspoon of baking powder

1/4 teaspoon of baking soda

1 pinch of salt

A couple of squares of your fave dark chocolate, roughly chopped (I use dairy free) or a small handful of choc chips + extra for drizzling – optional, but not really.

Optional add-ins

1 teaspoon of maca – for hormone balance

1-2 scoops of Vital proteins unflavored collagen peptides – for an extra boost of protein and gut healing goodness

1 scp protein powder – for extra protein (vanilla or unflavored would work best in this recipe) – I use Proganics Vanilla whey – you can use EMS10 to get 10% off – If adding protein powder you may need to add a little extra milk

Method –

1 – Pre-heat oven to 175’C?350’F and grease a small baking dish (I used my 4inch cast iron skillet but any kind of oven proof dish will work) – set aside.

2 – Place all ingredients apart from your chocolate in to a small bowl and stir to combine.

3 – Add chocolate and stir until just combined.

4 – Transfer brownie mix to your prepared baking dish. Smooth to the edges.

5 – Bake for 6-10 mins (depending on how fudgy you like your brownies to be)

6 – Allow to cool for a minute or two – note this will be very difficult but you can do it!

7 – To serve, sprinkle with a little extra flaky sea salt, drizzle with melted chocolate, top with strawberries and a big scoop (or two) of your fave ice cream.

Enjoy xo
