Hello.
Can you hear me?
Sorry, guys. I was just seeing where my bloody savory tooth had gone. Since arriving in Los Angeles, I swear my sweet tooth has returned out of nowhere with a vengeance, and I’m not happy at all. I mean, I guess it makes sense, because I’ve been sharing a slew of sweet recipes lately, but it doesn’t make things any easier.
I actually am not sure when my sweet tooth came into the picture, but I think it was more prevalent when I was in the midst of my weight loss…and it remained. Growing up, I was always team salty tooth. Whenever I went to the movies, attended parties or in the presence of a buffet- I’d tackle all things savory and scoff at the sweet stuff.
When I was losing weight, I started to pay more attention to my taste buds and for some odd reason, they started to ask for all things sweet. Whenever the infamous ‘treat day’ came along, I’d always choose cake or some form of sugar. Even after I reached my maintenance stage, my sweet tooth never disappeared, although it hasn’t been back with such intensity….until now.
Becuase of my raging sweet tooth, I like to make single serve recipes which is nothing new here. Does anyone remember my single serve breakfast cookie phase? Well, it looks like it’s transformed to dips/cookie doughs and the similar. I mean, why wouldn’t you want to dig into a huge serving of cookie dough or cake batter and not feel sick after it? Even better when it’s perfectly acceptable for breakfast and even better if it’s healthy too. Enter the newest member of the family- Healthy Brownie Batter dip for one.
This healthy brownie batter dip has the taste and texture of real brownie batter but without the typical ingredients- This recipe has no white flour, sugar, oil or butter in the entire recipe! It’s full of fiber, protein and even includes a serving of fruit OR veggies- Depending on which option you choose! It only takes five minutes to whip up and is pretty much no mess! For my friends who follow a paleo, vegan, gluten free and dairy free recipe- This recipe is totally suitable for you. As always, I do recommend using one of the following protein powder blends (as they have been tested using them AND provide the thick texture)- This casein protein powder, this vegan brown rice blend and this paleo protein powder.
HACK! This healthy brownie batter dip CAN be made in advance and in bulk- I would recommend you multiply the recipe by 4 or 8 (or 12, 16, 20….that’s all I can count up to) for the best consistency and texture.
Make this healthy brownie batter dip for one and the next time the sweet tooth strikes, don’t be a goose like me and mope.
Say mate.
Check mate.
Healthy Brownie Batter Dip For One
Ingredients
- 1 small overripe banana OR 1/2 cup pumpkin OR 1/2 cup mashed sweet potato
- 1/2 cup protein powder of choice I tried a brown rice blend, casein brand and paleo brand- Optional
- 1/2 cup gluten-free oat flour can substitute for coconut flour or almond flour for paleo version*
- 1 T + granulated sweetener of choice optional**
- 2 T cocoa powder
- 2 T nut butter of choice I used cashew
- 1 T pure maple syrup
- 1 T + dairy free milk of choice
- Dairy free chocolate chips or other add-ins of choice optional
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed starch, protein powder, flour of choice, cocoa powder and sweetener and mix very well.
- In a small microwave-safe dish or stovetop, melt the nut butter with the maple syrup and add to the pumpkin mixture until fully incorporated.
- Using a tablespoon, add dairy free milk of choice until desired consistency is reached. Top with chocolate chips and enjoy!
Notes
** I used sweetened protein powder so omitted. Adjust accordingly
The longer it sits in the fridge, the thicker it becomes. I love prepping it the night before purely for this reason- I find I don't even need the extra dairy free milk.
This can be frozen and thawed before consumption.

Does your tooth play favorites?
What do you do to satisfy your sweet/savory tooth? I once ate baking chocolate. It wasn’t the best…until I added sea salt. Zing.
You know I am a total sweet tooth! Always have been and doubt it will ever change. Lately I live on handfuls of straight up chocolate chips but I should try this brownie batter!
😀 Please do, Meredith!
I love you. Just saying.
Ok, I kid, but you are great! This would be a wonderful addition to my lunch today. I salute you for helping foster my sweet tooth ??
😀 Let me know what you think!
Nicely done Arman! Another guilt-free sweet for the holidays! Cheers!
🙂 Thanks so much, Allie!
Brownies for breakfast sounds good to me!
😀 Cheers, Becky!
I love these types of recipes! And perfect way to satisfy my sweet tooth over the holidays so I dont go over board on cookies!
😀 YES! thanks so much, Jess!
I love that it’s both Paleo and Vegan approved! So many options.
I plan to make it with banana, almond flour, coconut sugar, almond butter, and coconut milk!
If you don’t mind me asking, what pinterest widget do you use? I’ve been searching for one and can’t seem to find a good one! Sorry if these kinds of comments are annoying…
The recipe looks absolutely delish! I always enjoy looking at your pictures because they are always so fabulous and crisp. Can’t wait to make this.
Right? Thanks so much Abbey!
I use the one via jetpack! 🙂
I used to be a salty tooth until I was about 15/16 and then my mum got me hooked on sweets. Damn her. Who knows what I would be like today if she hadn’t!
Damn, mum haha!
I was all for the salty snacks at one time, then my sweet tooth came out of nowhere! Lol! This brownie dips looks especially good right now!
🙂 Right? Thanks so much, Joanne!
Team Savory Tooth all the way!! Haha. I have no cavities and I really think it’s because I was one of the rare kids who scoffed at sweets too. I would always have second and third helpings of dinner for dessert while everyone else had cake and ice cream. Maybe it has something to do with getting older, because my sweet tooth came out of nowhere when I turned 25 or 26. Seriously, it’s weird because I NEVER liked sweet stuff. Great recipe 🙂
RIGHT? It’s like…why appear now dammit!
yum yum and yum. You are my go to guy for single serving recipe love.
🙂 Thank you!
Well, when I was younger, I absolutely HATED spicy food. As a kid, I was really into anything cheesy or creamy–mac n’ cheese, white wine sauces, clam chowder, ranch, mayo, etc. Now I love my food SUPER spicy, so spicy that I’m known as the Sriracha queen in my friends circle! However, I’ve always been a sweets gal. It wasn’t until recently when I started digging dark chocolate, peppermint, peanut butter and pumpkin! Oh all the wasted years!
WHAT!!!!! Cassie, I was like that too but now I am obsessed!!!!!
I really love all of these single serving recipes. Your photography is adorable, and seeing these posts make me super happy.
I also have a huge sweet tooth, and I’ve been curbing it with lots of fruit smoothies. Blending up frozen fruit with almond milk is sweet and refreshing.
Thanks so much, Elaine
I’m back from the dead, couldn’t you tell? Tehe.
These batter dips look oh so fluffy, and I need them ALL!!
I love it when you resurface. Hi friend.
Arman, you are my hero! Every time I see an amazing recipe on Pinterest and click on it, it’s yours. Each one I have made is amazing. You are talented, brilliant and a fabulous creator of all things awesome. Consistently, always incredible. Thank you for sharing your gift!
Lisha, this is such a lovely comment- Thank you SO much for your kind words, I really appreciate it!
