Brownie in a Mug

[aquinasprime]

I'm trying to watch what I eat and lose some weight, but I still have my chocolate cravings. My biggest issue with desserts and my goal is that I won't eat "fake" foods - things like fat free cool whip (or any cool whip for that matter) or alternative sugars (no splenda, truvia, nutrasweet, etc).

I modified a mug brownie recipe based on what I had in my pantry and came up with this. It tastes rich and chocolatey, but won't kill my waistline. And it has only real ingredients.



Ingredients:
1 Tbsp each of: whole wheat flour, unsweetened cocoa, granulated sugar, 2% milk, vanilla greek yogurt
1 pinch salt
1 pinch baking powder

Mix everything in a coffee mug. Microwave for about a minute. Eat.
