If your microwave is very strong, try 45–50 seconds the first time and add 10 seconds if needed.
Let the mug sit for a minute after microwaving so the brownie finishes cooking from residual heat.

FAQs

Q: Can I make this in the oven?
A: Yes. Bake in a small ramekin at 350°F (175°C) for about 8–10 minutes until set.

Q: Can I use coconut flour instead of almond flour?
A: Coconut flour is much drier. If you use it, reduce amount to 1–2 teaspoons and add an extra egg or more applesauce.

Q: Is applesauce needed?
A: Applesauce adds moisture and helps bind the brownie. You can try Greek yogurt as a low-carb swap.
