Single Serving Brownie

This is still a work in progress. I came across something similar while looking for healthy-ish dessert recipes. I haven't quite perfected it yet, but what I have is quite yummy. It is not aesthetically pleasing, but it's quick and certainly curbs the chocolate craving. Yum! :o)

1 T. whole wheat flour (freshly ground if possible)
1 T. Sucanat
2 t. cocoa or carob powder
pinch salt
pinch baking soda
1/4 t. vanilla extract
2 T. apple sauce

Combine all ingredients in a microwave-safe container. A large soup mug or small bowl works well. Microwave on high for 1 minute. Let stand 2 to 3 minutes before serving.

Makes a single brownie.

Note: For a more cake-like brownie, use a bigger pinch of baking soda. For a more fudge-like brownie, use less baking soda.
