Why you should make single serving desserts

Even though most of my recipes are packed with really healthy ingredients, I can quickly go overboard with servings, especially when it comes to sweets.  

I love single serving desserts, they help me control my portions while feeling fully satisfied by getting to eat “the whole thing”. I’m not really good at portion control when I’m staring down a plate of brownies.

If you are the same way, you might enjoy some of my other favorite single serve desserts including:

• Single serve brownies
• Single serve chocolate peanut butter brownies
• Blueberry banana bread
• Chocolate mug cake
• Gingerbread mug cake
• Single serve chocolate chip pumpkin pie

Ingredients:

• Water
• Ground flax
• Banana
• Protein powder (vegan)
• Cacao powder (or cocoa powder)
• Baking Powder
• Strawberries
• Cacao nibs or chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions:

• Step 1: Start by mixing together the water and ground flax.
• Step 2: Add the bananas to the flax mixture and mash them well
• Step 3: Add the dry ingredients to the banana and flax mixture and stir well.
• Step 4: Make sure the dry ingredients are totally incorporated. The batter will be very thick at first, be patient and keep stirring.
• Step 5: Add the chopped strawberries. You can also add in any other mix in’s (cacao nibs, chocolate chips, coconut flakes) you want now as well.
• Step 6: Divide the brownie mixture between 2 ramekins. Bake in a 350F oven for 20 minutes or microwave on high for 2 minutes.

FAQ’s

Can you use frozen strawberries?

I suggest using fresh strawberries since frozen strawberries are often not as sweet as fresh strawberries and they tend to give off a lot of extra water when cooking.

If you want to use frozen strawberries, make sure they are defrosted first, and you might want to add a small sprinkle of coconut sugar to the strawberries to help sweeten them.

What other mix in’s can you add?

• Chopped nuts
• Chocolate chips
• Cacao nibs
• Toasted coconut flakes

What kind of protein powder to use?

This recipe uses a vegan protein powder! The protein powder replaces the typical flour that would be in the recipe. I love Nuzest protein since it doesn’t have any artificial flavors or sweeteners. It’s also very easy to digest and tastes amazing!

If you want to use a whey protein or collagen protein powder in this recipe, follow the instructions for making this recipe without protein powder below and just add the protein powder you would like to use in addition to the gluten free flour.

How do you make these brownies without protein powder?

If you don’t have a vegan protein powder to bake with you can still make these healthy single serve brownies with strawberries! For every serving of protein powder, use 1/3 cup of your favorite gluten free flour. Some of my favorites to bake with are:

• Almond flour
• Cashew flour
• Tigernut flour
• Gluten free flour blends

NOTE: I would not recommend using coconut flour as it absorbs too much liquid and you will get a dry, cakey brownie as a result.

What kind of ramekins to use?

I have made this recipe using glass ramekins, traditional ceramic ramekins and these fun square ramekins. When using traditional ramekins, the center of these really stays gooey and fudgy. The square ramekins can overcook quickly if you are not careful but are equally as fudgy if you can get them out of the oven in time! 

If you want more protein packed desserts, you should try:

• Vegan Black Bean Brownies
• Sweet Potato Brownies
• Sweet Potato Donuts
• Simple Protein Pudding
• Chocolate strawberry energy bites
