Ingredients

Units Scale
1 tbsp plain (all-purpose) flour2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder2 tbsp stevia or 0-calorie granulated sweetener1/4 tsp vanilla extract3 tbsp full-fat yogurt5 g (2 tsp) chocolate chips

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and 0-calorie sweetener.

2. Add the yogurt and vanilla extract and stir until smooth. Fold in the chocolate chips.

3. Transfer the batter to a microwave-safe mug or a 9 cm ramekin lined with parchment paper.

Use dairy-free yogurt for a vegan version.

Swap regular chocolate chips for sugar-free chocolate chips if desired.

Do not overcook to keep the brownie soft and fudgy.
