Why You’ll Love This Recipe
Ready in one minute flat
No eggs, no mixer, no hassle
Made with pantry staples
Fudgy and gooey like a classic brownie
Perfectly portioned for one
What You’ll Need
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tbsp sugar
1 pinch of salt
2 tbsp milk (any kind)
2 tbsp vegetable oil (or melted butter)
¼ tsp vanilla extract
Optional: chocolate chips, chopped nuts, a scoop of ice cream
Let’s Make This Brownie Happen
Step 1: Mix it up
In a microwave-safe mug, add the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt. Stir with a fork to combine. Add the milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and no dry spots remain.
Step 2: Add the extras
If you’re feeling fancy, toss in a few chocolate chips or nuts for texture and extra gooeyness.
Step 3: Microwave magic
Microwave on high for 60–90 seconds. Start checking at 60 seconds—your brownie should look set but still slightly gooey in the center. Don’t overcook or it’ll dry out.
Step 4: Cool and enjoy
Let it cool for a minute (if you can wait), then dig in straight from the mug or top it with ice cream for the full brownie sundae experience.
Tips and Tricks
Use a wide mug to prevent overflow
Don’t overmix the batter—just combine until smooth
Microwave wattages vary, so adjust time as needed
Want it extra fudgy? Try a splash of brewed coffee instead of milk
