Every summer, my grandchildren visit, bringing with them a sense of adventure and a love for the vegan treats I make. This year, amidst their usual requests, my youngest grandchild, Lily, asked for something new – a vegan brownie.
As a longtime vegan, I’ve experimented with many recipes, but this time I wanted to create something quick, easy, and delightful. I decided to use whole wheat flour, coconut sugar, and instead of my usual peanut butter, I used almond butter, ingredients that are not only vegan but also healthier.
The result was a 1 Minute Vegan Almond Butter Microwave Brownie in a Mug. The kids were thrilled! Lily, with her chocolate-covered smile, declared it the best brownie she’d ever had. This recipe has since become a favorite, adding a sweet note to our cherished summer tradition.
By the way, feel free to swap back to peanut butter and make the original 1 Minute Vegan Peanut Butter Microwave Brownie in a Mug!
