Okay guys, I post this recipe with EXTREME caution. You may become addicted.
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1 tablespoon unsweetened applesauce
2 tablespoons milk
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 dash salt
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Handful of chocolate chips (optional)
Melt the butter in a standard hot chocolate mug. Add applesauce, milk and vanilla. Stir. Stir in sugar. Add cocoa powder and flour on top. Mix the flour and cocoa together on top of the wet ingredients without disturbing the wet ingredients (okay you can mix the flour and cocoa in a separate container, but I'd rather spare a dish and mix them on top of the other ingredients). Add your dash of salt. Stir all ingredients together in mug. Add chocolate chips if desired. Microwave on high for about 1 min. Give or take for wattage and your desired consistency. Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.
Traci's tweaks: The original recipe called for 2 tablespoons of butter or oil I just switched for the applesauce to cut down on calories. Maybe next time I'll try all applesauce. The original recipe also called for 4 tbs of sugar, but I reduced it because the applesauce does add some sweetness. Also, the original recipe called for water, not milk. I used milk just because.
