100 CALORIE brownie is my favorite single serving brownie recipe! This easy recipe makes a fudgy chocolate brownie for one in the microwave in 1 minute!  If you’re anything like me, you will eat a whole tray of brownies if they’re out, so these low calorie brownies are perfect for satisfying a sweet tooth

100 Calorie Brownie

My name is Pamela and I have no self control when it comes to sweets. Yeah, sure I’ll eat one cookie. But then I’m going to come back and eat 4 more. With that in mind I came up with some single serving recipes that satisfy my sweet tooth like my single serving chocolate chip cookie, blueberry sponge mug cake, and this fudgy brownie!

You’re going to love these brownies because not only are they low calorie, but they only take 1 minute in the microwave. That’s right, you don’t have to wait 20 minutes for them to bake in the oven! I hope you try it soon and it becomes your new favorite treat!

How to Make a Single Serving Brownie

Mix your dry ingredients (flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt) in a small bowl or a mug.

Add 2 tablespoons of applesauce, no oil is needed for this recipe. I recommend my homemade applesauce recipe if you want to try to make apple sauce at home sometime.  Yum!

Then mix all the ingredients up.

Cook the brownie in the microwave for 1 minute. Remove from the microwave and marvel at your beautiful brownie for one! Don’t you love how simple it was to make?

Serve as is or add some sprinkles or powdered sugar on top. I always add rainbow sprinkles because like my daughter says “Sprinkles make everything better!”.

Did you know it’s super easy to make homemade powdered sugar? For 1 cup of powdered confectioners sugar blend together 1 cup regular sugar + 1 tablespoon cornstarch until it’s powdery.  Store in a mason jar in your cabinet.

Can you freeze brownies?

You sure can! Wrap each brownie tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn. Place the wrapped brownies into a freezer-safe bag or container. When you’re ready to enjoy one, simply microwave it for about 15 seconds to heat it up. These frozen brownies can stay fresh for up to 3 months!

    Thank you for this, it was so easy and yummy!
    I didn’t have apple sauce so I used mashed banana, it turned out great, then I topped with a squirt of reduced fat cream.
    I needed a chocolatey treat that would fit into my calorie allowance, and this was absolutely perfect 🙂 🙂

    what size cute ramekin did you use and did you grease it first? my salivary glands are working overtime here.

      Hey Susan, mine are about 3.75-4 inches. I don’t grease, but if you want to add a bit of nonstick spray, go for it.

    100 calorie single-serving brownie made in the microwave?! Mind blown.

    And this totally means I can eat like 4 or 5 of them, right?

    What’s the one dessert my husband doesn’t like? Brownies. And one dessert do I love so much that I just end up eating the entire pan? Yep, brownies! Hopefully this will solve that 🙂

    Haha, I have an issue with brown sugar like you have with cocoa… I always buy brown sugar at the store thinking I don’t have any and then come home to find like 5 boxes. These little brownies look like the perfect little treat to end the night!

    I think this recipe is way too long and complicated 😉 But seriously I think I just found my recipe for my potluck Sunday. Great tips on icing sugar.

    Trying these. I’m a cocoa powder hoarder, too. You can never have enough cocoa powder in the house..it’s like what if I have to use 5 pounds in something… that is how much I have in the house. I mostly use it in cookies or when I make hot cocoa. Now I have a new use for it. Thanks Pam.

    Haha… most of the time when I bake, Chris always want to keep all for ourselves. I always tell him I rather have them fresh… that’s an incentive for him to share the baked goods so I can bake more. 🙂 These single serving brownies are genius! And the ramekins are so adorable. It’s even better when you got them at a bargain price. I’d be on cloud 9 too! 😉

      Thanks Anne! Definitely, since you’re making a small amount they stay fresh.. although they don’t last long after coming out of the microwave! 😉

    Hi Pamela! What a great way to get your brownie fix in! Easy and perfectly portioned. Love it! Thank you for sharing! I’m hosting a giveaway on my blog tomorrow for one of Ryan’s necklaces, and I’d love for you to stop by! I hope you are having a wonderful Sunday!

    Oh yes! I want to add some Nutella 🙂 ! These are perfect for me because I cannot control my brownie eating. Love that you used applesauce instead of oil!

  24. Archana @ FeedingTheFoodie says

    I have gotto try this ! I love how quick it is .. and that you made it eggless. I wasn’t liking the idea of nuking eggs – and was holding off trying the microwave cake.. applesauce is brilliant!

    I just love those quick instant gratification desserts,with extra bonus points for being only 100 calories. LOVE THIS!! Although I would probably add a scoop of coffee ice cream which would bump up that calorie count.

    Isn’t it funny that I’ve just made myself a single-serving brownie??? I wish I had seen your version first, I don’t think mine came up at just 100kcal. This is simply genius! I looove it :-*

    I tried so many times to perfect one of these – never could. These look so good and moist – so trying this! Thanks for the recipe!

    I am SO happy to know that these are awesome even with the applesauce substitution!! I’ve avoided them because the oil ups the calories so much and at that point I might as well eat regular dessert…but these are now unavoidable!
