Yes, that's right. An ooey-gooey chocolate brownie that's so low in fat and sugar that you can eat it for breakfast. Did I mention that it cooks in the microwave in 40 seconds? I know - I'm awesome.

Following on from the popularity of my Healthy Deep Dish Breakfast Cookie, I decided to develop a similar breakfast recipe that was just as healthy, just as quick and just as delicious. And you know what? I managed to do even better. I created a recipe that has fewer calories, is even quicker to make and tastes more amazing than I could ever expect from a healthy breakfast recipe.

And today I'm going to share it with you guys because you're even more awesome than me and I want you to be able to enjoy a breakfast that truly encapsulates how awesome you all are. I think an ooey-gooey brownie pretty much sums that up, don't you?

The majority of the calories in this recipe come from a healthy source - the oats. As well as being proven to lower cholesterol, oats are known for slowly releasing energy throughout the day, keeping you full up until lunchtime. As I was keen to point out in this recipe for Skinny Mug Brownie for One, I haven't cut down on fat, sugar and calories by cutting down on portions - oh no. This recipe is at least as large as a regular brownie and with ¼ cup of oats per recipe, is guaranteed to fill you up in the morning.

Whilst I love my Healthy Breakfast Brownie to have an ooey-gooey centre, you don't have to cook it like that. Cooking it for around 40 seconds will give you an indulgent molten chocolate brownie overall. If you want something more sponge-like you can cook it for an additional 10 seconds which will give you a slightly gooey centre, but not an overall goo factor like the one in the photo.

If you don't really want a brownie for breakfast (uhh...not quite sure why you're here, but I'm happy for you to stick around anyway) then cook this for 60 seconds (don't cook it for longer than 60 seconds or the brownie will totally dry out) and you'll end up with a single-serving breakfast dish more similar to a chocolate sponge.
