Brownie in a Mug
Servings: 1 brownie in a mug
Calories: 555cal
Equipment
- 8 ounce mug microwave safe
- Microwave
Ingredients
- cooking spray
- 3 Tablespoons light brown sugar lightly packed
- 3 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3 Tablespoons milk
- 2 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- ½ Tablespoon chocolate chips optional as garnish
- 1 scoop vanilla ice cream optional for serving
Instructions
- Lightly spray the inside of the mug with cooking spray.
- Add all ingredients except the chocolate chips to a microwave-safe 8-ounce mug, and stir to combine.
- Microwave (uncovered) on high power for 60 seconds. Check it to see if it looks super gooey; if so, microwave in 10 second intervals for up to 20 seconds more. (The top should still look a touch wet in spots when it’s done; it will set as it cools.)
- Let it sit for 2 minutes, then sprinkle on the chocolate chips.
- Serve warm, topped with vanilla ice cream if desired.
Notes
- If you don’t have an 8-ounce mug, a 6-ounce mug will also work well for this recipe.
- You can use vegetable oil, or any neutral-flavored oil you like. Or you can use unsalted butter, just melt it before mixing together the brownie batter.
- For extra gooey bits of chocolate, double the amount of chocolate chips and stir half into the batter.
- For a richer, more deep chocolate flavor, add 1/8 teaspoon espresso powder. You can’t taste the espresso, it just pulls out the flavor of the chocolate.
