One-Minute Microwave Brownie
Description
The One-Minute Microwave Brownie is a compact dessert prepared from a blend of sugars, natural unsweetened cocoa powder, water, oil, and vanilla, mixed with all-purpose flour and semi-sweet chocolate chips. The batter is microwaved briefly, typically about a minute total, allowing the dessert to set without becoming dry. Due to variations in microwaves and ingredient quantities, checking at 45 seconds and adjusting in short increments is suggested for achieving the ideal consistency.
The resulting brownie has a moist texture, with melted chocolate chips adding pockets of richness. The quick cooking method sacrifices the traditional oven-baked crust but retains the dense, fudgy character. This dessert is best served warm and fresh, optionally topped with ice cream or whipped cream for contrast.
The recipe notes that ensuring the chocolate chips are vegan is necessary to maintain a vegan version, confirming attention to dietary details. The straightforward ingredients and method make it a useful option for quick dessert needs without special equipment.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder natural
- 3 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons canola oil or vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar packed
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch salt to taste
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Ice cream optional for serving, or whipped topping
Instructions
- To a small microwave-safe bowl, add the granulated sugar, cocoa, water, oil, brown sugar, vanilla, salt, and whisk to combine.
- Add the flour and stir until just combined, don’t overmix.
- Add the chocolate chips and stir to combine.
- Cook on high power in the microwave for about 1 minute, or until the brownie is as set in the center as desired. All microwaves, bowls, ingredients, and preferences for doneness vary, so you will need to experiment with how long it takes to cook given your variables. I recommend stopping to check at the 45-second mark and going from there in 15-second bursts as necessary.
- Optionally add ice cream or whipped topping and serve immediately. Brownie is best warm and fresh.
Notes
- Verify that your chocolate chips are vegan if you need the recipe to be fully vegan-friendly.
