FINALLY! A low calorie mug brownie (101 cal)

Aoife_Eile

I know all the recipes are calling for plain/all purpose flour, but would using self-raising be a bad idea? I'm only asking this because I have about 2kg of self raising flour to use up!!

There is no way that is 101 Calories unless you are talking Teaspoons (tsp) instead of Tablespoons (TBSP)

2 vegetable oil (tbs) = 250 calories
3 granulated sugar (tbs) = 135 calories
2 unsweetened cocoa powder (tbs) = 20 calories
2 all purpose flour (tbs) = 55 calories

Total= 460

*edited* I like chocolatecoveredkatie.com for mug cake ideas. All her "single lady cakes" can be microwaved. And I've gotten them down to 160 calories before.

Sounds good!

this recipe sounds delicious. I was wondering if the calorie count includes the ice cream.

I just tried this recipe, except I used tsp. instead of Tbsp. They were delicious.

That's right, my calculator even said 468. I usually make it with water only (so 4 tbsp water, rather than 2 water and 2 oil) and then that recipe comes to 227 calories according to my calculator. It's just as nice

Bumping for the low cal mug cake ideas, not the mis-leading op.

LizardQueen4PointOh

I'm just proud of the fact that I knew, just by seeing the ingredients / amounts, that it was not 100 cal. Two months ago, I would have had no clue! :bigsmile:

why are people bumping this? THIS IS NOT 101 CALORIES!

I was just thinking to myself "I really need to find something sweet that isn't too too high in calories". i have such a BAD sweet tooth!

I read this elsewhere in recipes, a pretty decent cupcake for WAAAY less calories.

1 box angle food cake mix
1 box any other flavor cake mix

Mix them together thoughoughly.
Put 3 TBSP dry mix in a cup.
Add 2 TBSP water.
Stir well and microwave for 1 minute.

That is low-cal. Promise. And quite tasty.

Save the mix in tupperware.

yes, it is called 3-2-1 cake:

varies in cals, depending on what type of cake you use, but is quite low

this is over 400 calories.....not 101.

alnaln

This recipe is very tasty, thanks! However using those ingredients I can not get it less than 339 calories. Am I missing something?

bradXdale

All my hopes & dreams about this brownie...

AnaTaughtMe

If you want to make it even more low calorie just replace the oil with milk or almond milk.
