Description
This Simple Brownie In A Mug is my favorite answer to a sudden chocolate craving because it is rich, warm, fudgy, and ready in minutes. It is the kind of easy recipe that works for a quick dessert, late-night snack, sweet treat after dinner, or simple food idea when I do not want to bake a whole pan. If you are looking for easy dessert ideas, quick chocolate recipes, microwave brownies, single-serve desserts, or cozy homemade sweets, this one checks every box with minimal effort and maximum comfort.
Ingredients
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/8 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch salt
3 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons chocolate chips
Instructions
1. In a microwave-safe mug, stir together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until evenly mixed.
2. Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract, then stir until the batter is smooth and no dry spots remain.
3. Fold in most of the chocolate chips, saving a few to sprinkle on top.
4. Microwave on high for 60 to 90 seconds, just until the top looks set and the center is still slightly soft.
5. Let the brownie rest for 1 minute, then serve warm straight from the mug.
Notes
Do not overcook the brownie or it can turn dry fast. Start checking at 60 seconds if your microwave runs hot.
For an even richer texture, add a few extra chocolate chips right in the center before microwaving.
