Weight Watchers Mug Brownie
Have you ever made a cake recipe for more than 12 servings and later on regretted that because it made too much? I admit that I do that all the time and can barely eat the whole entire thing. Enter mug cakes. A cake specifically made for 1 person only and I'm in love. From now on, my goal will be to make sweet treats for only 1 or 2 servings.
While researching ideas for low point mug cakes, I saw many misleading recipes that stated they were zero points but had self-rising flour in them. Maybe close to zero, but not zero. My chocolate mug cake recipe is only 6 points for 1 serving, with no other temptations left behind. This cake is moist, and best served warm right out of the microwave! I garnished my chocolate cake with a little Whipped Topping, a drizzle of more chocolate syrup, and strawberries.
Ingredients List:
Cocoa Powder: I used unsweetened cocoa powder
Hershey's Lite Syrup: There's still sugar in this, but not as much as the regular Hershey's Syrup. Adds even more chocolate flavor on top.
Egg White: I chose to use an egg white because a whole entire egg is not needed for one individual serving of cake.
Sugar: only 1 tablespoon is needed and is plenty sweet!
Self Rising Flour – I love this flour because the baking powder is already added to it. If you see a recipe that calls for this and there's baking soda or baking powder added with it, don't trust it! It is not needed. 🙂
What other dish can I use instead of a mug?
I used a ramekin to make my mug cake in. I know, it's called a mug cake, but any microwave-safe dish will do. Just make sure it says that on the bottom of the dish.
How to Make Chocolate Mug Cake
- In a small bowl, mix the flour, sugar, cocoa, and a tiny pinch of salt until well combined. (This can also be mixed directly into a large mug).
- Add egg white and syrup and mix into the dry mixture.
- Grease a tall, large mug or any microwave-safe dish, and pour in this mixture, scraping out with a spatula.
- Place in the microwave on High for 1 to 2 min. Check the cake to see if it is done after 1 minute. If not, continue cooking for 1 minute longer.
