Brownie in a Mug
Description
This microwave brownie mixes granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, salt, and chocolate chips directly in a mug, combined with melted vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract. Cooking for about 90 seconds in the microwave produces a soft-centered brownie with melted chocolate pockets throughout. The method avoids overmixing to maintain a tender crumb. A few extra chocolate chips sprinkled on top melt during cooking for added richness.
The mug brownie fits well as a small dessert portion, convenient for one or two people, especially when served with ice cream, whipped cream, powdered sugar, or berries. Microwave times can vary, so checking doneness after one minute and adding extra cooking in short increments helps avoid overcooking.
This recipe suits those looking for an easy, timely dessert without the need to bake a whole batch.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ tablespoons cocoa powder unsweetened
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons chocolate chips plus more for topping
- 1 ½ tablespoons vegetable oil (melted coconut oil or melted butter)
- 3 tablespoons milk
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Garnish Options
- Ice cream
- Whipped Cream
- powdered sugar
- raspberries or strawberries
Instructions
- Place sugar, flour, cocoa powder and salt in a mug (I use a 12-ounce mug). Use a small whisk or fork, and stir until combined, and free of lumps. Stir in chocolate chips. Add oil, milk, and vanilla, stir with a spoon or small rubber spatula until just combined (try not to over mix it). Sprinkle a few additional chocolate chips over the top.
- Cook in the microwave for about 90 seconds (microwave times may vary). Eat immediately with ice cream, whipped cream, powdered sugar, or berries.
Notes
- Microwave times vary; start with 1 minute and add 15-second increments to avoid overcooking.
- This single brownie can be shared or served as a dessert for two if paired with ice cream.
- Use a 12-ounce mug to allow space for mixing and rising.
