Single Serve Gluten-Free Fudgy Brownies

This is your “I want something homemade but I’m not trying to be stressed about it” dessert.

Fudgy almond butter brownies baked in individual heart ramekins, topped with creamy vanilla bean Ninja Creami and festive sprinkles. It feels planned. It feels romantic. It’s secretly so easy. Perfect for episode 6 of my Lazy Girl, Healthy Treats series!!

Serves 2 (generously).


Heart Ramekin Almond Butter Brownies

  • 1 cup creamy all natural almond butter

    • (can sub half with chocolate protein powder)

  • ½ tsp baking soda

  • ½ tsp sea salt

  • ¼ cup chocolate chips

  4. Stir in cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until fully combined.

Let cool slightly — they firm up as they sit.


Vanilla Bean Ninja Creami (To Top)

This is the creamy, dreamy moment.

To Serve

Scoop a generous dollop of vanilla bean Creami onto each warm brownie. Let it melt slightly into the fudgy center. Add sprinkles. Maybe flaky salt if that’s your vibe.

It’s cozy. It’s indulgent. It looks like you tried way harder than you did.
