I have this weird obsession with single serve desserts and mug cakes. It’s most likely because I can’t be trusted with an entire cake, so I’m better off just making a mug cake. Needless to say, AIP and being egg, grain, nut, and dairy free makes mug cakes and single serve baked goods kind of challenging. I’ve been working on something for months. Finally, I’ve perfected the single serve AIP brownie.

Side note, my birthday is this Thursday (yes, my birthday is on Cinco De Mayo) and I’ve been trying to find the best birthday dessert. I’ve found quite a bit of options, but I think this one may just win. Not only is a great treat for special occasion, but it’s perfect for those times when you just want something sweet and don’t want to make a fuss out of an entire pan of brownies.

AIP Single Serve Brownie

Single serve for the win.

This brownie is cake-y, chocolate, and oh so rich. It’s not exactly “goo-ey” but honestly, that’s what I like about it. Grain-free can very easily be goo-ey or gummy, so I like having something a little bit more dense.

Since chocolate is technically a bean and not AIP friendly, I used carob in this recipe. Carob is seriously one of my favorite pantry staples and can be used for a chocolately flavor and tons of recipes like my AIP Hot Chocolate.

I’ll also note that I made the mixture for this recipe in a nutribullet blender rather than a mixing bowl, though a mixing bowl should work just fine. Plantains are indeed a lot harder to break down than a banana so I wanted to bring in the big guns!
