Valentine's Day Treat

I'm not a real romantic, but I DO love a dessert on Valentine's Day. This healthier version of brownies is made in single batches, so you can just make one for you and one your mate! No 13x9 pan of brownies staring at you for the rest of the week!!! ;-)

Recipe Serves ONE!
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
2 T. coconut sugar or sucanat
2 T. unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 t. baking powder
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
3 T. non-dairy milk
2 T. non-dairy chocolate chips (Ghirardelli semi-sweet work well)


NOTE: You can mix up this batter directly in the mug or bowl, or make in another bowl then fill your vessel.

In a large mug or soup bowl (or decorative heart-shaped ceramic bowl or baking cup), put all dry ingredients and whisk well with a fork. Add wet ingredients and stir with a spoon. Add chocolate chips and stir in. Consistency should be like cake batter. Microwave on high for 2 1/2 minutes. Delicious served with some banana "nice" cream or fresh strawberries!
