Crockpot Mug Brownies – My Paleo Crockpot

(recipe adapted from Baker Gal's adaptation of Civilized Caveman Cooking's recipe)

- 4 qt. crockpot

- 2 - 3 mugs (the kind you got from your realtor that you really don't care about)

- 1/2 cup almond butter

- 1/4 cup honey

- 1/8 cup cocoa powder

- 1 t vanilla extract

- 1 egg

- dash salt

- 1/4 t baking soda

- dash pumpkin pie spice

- dash ground ginger (optional - use if you like an extra spicy kick to your brownie)

The Process:

Tell yourself you deserve a lovely paleo chocolate brownie.  You totally do.

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix well.  

Grease your mugs with some coconut oil, so your brownie doesn't get stuck all over the sides of the mug.

Pour even amounts of the batter in your mugs, and set them inside your crockpot.  Don't fill the mugs any more than about halfway full; the batter will REALLY rise and bubble over if you fill the mugs too full.

Cook on HIGH for somewhere between 1 hour and 15 minutes and 1 hour and 45 minutes.  It will depend on how fast your crockpot cooks and how gooey (or cakey) you like your brownies.  We like our brownies a bit gooier (is that a word?) and so I cooked it for right at 1 hour and 20 minutes.  A knife was mostly clean when I inserted it.

When they are done, turn your crockpot off, take the lid off and just let them cool.
