Easy berry brownie for one! Made with good stuff like oat flour, SunButter, chocolate chips, and topped with a dreamy berry glaze. Vegan and gluten-free!
THIS POST IS SPONSORED BY SUNBUTTER
Once upon a time many years ago I made a flourless chocolate cake with blueberries and cacao and coconut and topped it with a lot (possibly too much in retrospect) ice cream and it was super fudgy and super simple and is still a reader favorite to this day. Now I’m not going to share the link here because that was five years ago and the photos make we want to cry (okay FINE….but you can’t laugh).
Five years later and I am still obsessed with the combination of blueberries and ultra fudgy but also really fast to make chocolate things, so that is why this Single-Serve Blueberry Brownie came to be.
If you flip it out of it’s mug-like vessel before glazing and consuming is it still consider a “mug cake”? Just wondering, please do let me know.
Well “mug cake” or single-serve purple-glazed fudginess or brownie for you and your face alone, this is what you’re gonna need to make it:
- Blueberries. Or other berries are acceptable, but I’m partial to bluebs. Strawberries would be second best I think, plus no bazillion pesky seeds to worry about
- Cocoa or cacao powder (cacao is slightly less bitter)
- SunButter! That’s right this baby is oil and nut-free
- Oat flour
- Coconut sugar. You can cut back on this a smidge if you use a sweetened SunButter or just like intensely dark chocolate things
- Almond milk. Or any of the milks
- Baking soda and salt
- Chocolate chips
And fun fact: SunButter now comes in convenient squishy little squeeze packs that happen to be exactly two tablespoons each. So perfect for on the go snacking or single-serve brownie baking.
I opted for oven baking as opposed to microwave because I find it keeps mug things much more moist. You can experiment with a couple minutes in the microwave too. If you are looking for more single-serve sweetness, this cookie jar situation might be up your alley too.
I included a simple blueberry glaze in the recipe too, but there is definitely enough berry sweetness inside not to need it. And if you do choose to skip, might I suggest a scoop of ice cream in its place.

Easy berry brownie for one! Made with good stuff like oat flour, SunButter, chocolate chips, and topped with a dreamy berry glaze. Vegan and gluten-free!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (70g) blueberries (fresh or frozen/thawed)*
- 2 tbsp SunButter (I used the Natural variety)
- 3 tbsp (18g) cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp (15g) oat flour
- 2 tbsp (14g) coconut sugar
- 2 tbsp (30g) nondairy milk
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tbsp (15g) chocolate chips
Glaze (optional)
- 1/2 cup (60g) powdered sugar
- 1–2 tbsp blueberry purée
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
- Puree the blueberries.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, oat flour, coconut sugar, baking soda, and salt until lump free.
- Add the SunButter, almond milk, vanilla, and 2 tbsp blueberry puree. Mix to combine.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Transfer to a greased ramekin, and bake for 13-15 minutes at 350ºF.
- Cool for at least 10 minutes.
- To make the glaze, whisk the blueberry puree into powdered sugar until smooth and drizzle-able.
- Carefully flip the brownie out of the ramekin, drizzle with glaze, and enjoy!
Notes
*You can use another kind of berry too, although if using one with seeds (blackberries/raspberries) puree VERY well. Or to make it without berries, swap the puree for applesauce.

There were six advertisements dotted throughout this recipe which I could close and two others I couldn’t. I had to opt out of over 200 information sharing companies in the preferences. I like your recipes but getting through all that each time is too much so I’ll be unsubscribing. Sorry to go but I guess you will understand why 😔
Sorry to see you go Bev! Appreciate the feedback, this is my full time job so I have to make money otherwise I cannot continue to share recipes with you free of charge. Hope you can understand it from my side too, but of course staying or leaving is up to you😊
Is there an alternative to using SunButter? Almond butter, perhaps?
Of course, any nut or seed butter you like 🙂
Thank you! I can’t wait to try this recipe!!!

I’m a die-hard fan of this brownie! And I would give 10 stars if I could! 20!
Ever since I first tried it, over a month or 2 ago, not a week passes by that I do not make this. I’m simply obsessed! And whenever I see blueberries at the store, the image of this brownie comes up!
So easy to make and I simply love the combination of cacao, blueberries and sunflower seed butter. And the texture is so effin effin good!! Only talking about it makes me drool after one piece. But just today I purposely bought some blueberries to make the brownie in the following days so thank God!
Thank you tons for this wonderful recipe! It’s a real winner. 🙂

Your review just made my day🤗🤗 I am SO thrilled to hear that you love this recipe as much as I do, easy + chocolate + blueberry is just such a dreamy combo right!? Appreciate you feedback so much❤️
Could you use normal sugar or something else if you’re allergic to coconuts?
Yes absolutely! Any granulated sweetener will work 🙂
