1 Minute Microwave Brownie In A Mug Recipe
Description
The 1 Minute Microwave Brownie In A Mug Recipe starts by mixing flour, cocoa powder, dark brown sugar, and salt directly in a microwavable mug. Adding milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla creates a smooth batter that is then combined with semi-sweet chocolate chips. The batter microwaves for about 1 minute 40 seconds until it rises and the top is set but still moist inside.
The quick microwave method gives a tender, fudgy result that is best eaten warm. Chocolate chips melt inside for bursts of bittersweet sweetness while the cocoa powder offers a deep chocolate flavor balanced by sugar and milk.
Serving the mug brownie with vanilla ice cream adds temperature contrast and creaminess. Timing depends on the microwave wattage and mug size, so careful watch is needed to avoid overflow or overcooking.
The recipe carries a note about adjusting cocoa or adding bicarbonate of soda to mellow acidity if desired. It emphasizes that the calories are fairly high due to sugar and oil content, and suggests using more natural alternatives for lighter nutrition.
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons (1 ¼oz/35g) all-purpose flour
- 3 - 4 tablespoons (1oz/28g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
- pinch salt
- 6 tablespoons (3floz/90ml) milk
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil canola oil/vegetable oil/sunflower oil, flavorless
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon chocolate chips semi-sweet
Notes
- Microwave cook time varies with wattage and mug dimensions; watch closely to prevent overflow or overcooking.
- If cocoa flavor is too intense, reduce cocoa powder or add a pinch of baking soda to balance acidity.
- Use flavorless vegetable oil and quality cocoa for best results.
- The mug brownie is best served warm; accompany with vanilla ice cream for contrast.
