Moist Apple and Cocoa Brownie with 3 Ingredients

Ingredients

• 1 apple (Cut into pieces; may be replaced with pear or banana.)
• 1 egg
• 50 g unsweetened cocoa powder (Unsweetened.)
• 1 tbsp stevia or another sweetener (Optional, to sweeten to taste.)

Steps

1. 1

   Cut the apple into small pieces. It is not necessary to peel it if the blender or food processor can blend the skin well.

2. 2

   Place the chopped apple in the blender or food processor.

3. 3

   Add the egg and unsweetened cocoa powder. If you want a sweeter brownie, also add the stevia or another sweetener.

4. 4

   Process or blend until you obtain a smooth, thick mixture with no large pieces of apple. If using chocolate chips, you may optionally fold them in after processing.

5. 5

   Pour the mixture into an approximately 12 cm microwave-safe pan or mold. If using a larger mold, double the quantities.

6. 6

   Cook in the microwave in 2 or 3 batches of 1 minute each. Check between batches; the brownie is ready when the center no longer looks liquid, although it should retain some moisture.

7. 7

   Alternatively, cook in a preheated oven or air fryer at 180 °C for approximately 20 minutes, until the center is cooked but still moist.

8. 8

   Let it rest for a few minutes before cutting. Divide the brownie into four portions.
