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.
