3-Minute Brownie in a Mug Recipe
Report
The 3-Minute Brownie in a Mug is a quick microwave recipe combining flour, brown sugar, cocoa powder, milk, and oil into a fudgy quick cake. It’s cooked directly in a mug and topped with whipped cream for a fast single-serving dessert.
Description
This mug brownie recipe mixes dry ingredients—flour, brown sugar, and cocoa powder—to create an even base. Adding milk, vegetable oil, vanilla, and optional coffee extract forms a smooth batter. The batter is spooned into a mug coated with nonstick spray and microwaved for about 1 to 1.5 minutes until just baked through.
The result is a dense, fudgy brownie-like cake with a moist interior. Serving it turned out onto a plate and topped with sweetened whipped cream adds a creamy contrast. This convenient dessert offers chocolate flavor in a very short preparation time.
