Instructions
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a 10 to 12-ounce (300-350ml) microwave-safe mug, add the almond flour, sweetener, cacao powder, sodium-free baking powder, instant espresso powder, cinnamon, and salt. Use a fork to whisk these ingredients together thoroughly, breaking up any clumps.
Add Wet Ingredients: Add the avocado oil, egg yolk, and vanilla extract directly into the mug with the dry ingredients.
Mix Batter: Whisk vigorously with the fork until a smooth, thick, and glossy batter forms. Scrape the sides and bottom of the mug to ensure everything is fully incorporated.
Microwave: Place the mug in the center of your microwave. Cook on high power for 75-90 seconds. The brownie will puff up and should be just firm to the touch on top. Be careful not to overcook, as it will continue to set as it cools.
Serve: Let the brownie cool for 1-2 minutes (it will be extremely hot). Enjoy directly from the mug.
