Description
A simple recipe for a single-serving chocolate brownie cooked quickly in a microwave.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 4 tbsp granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 3 tbsp milk
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- In a microwave-safe mug (about 10-12 oz), whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until combined.
- Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix well until just combined; do not overmix.
- Stir in the chocolate chips, if using.
- Microwave on high for 60 to 90 seconds. Cooking time varies by microwave wattage. Check at 60 seconds. The top should look mostly set.
- Let it cool for one minute before eating directly from the mug.
Notes
- If the brownie seems too wet after 90 seconds, microwave in 10-second intervals until done.
- For a richer flavor, substitute vegetable oil with melted butter.
- Serve with a scoop of ice cream or a dusting of powdered sugar.
