A deliciously fudgy, warm brownie that is both satisfying and convenient. This recipe is ideal for those moments when you want something indulgent without spending time in the kitchen or dealing with large quantities of leftovers.
Ingredients
1/4 cup (30 g) all-purpose flour
1/4 cup (50 g) brown sugar or granulated sugar
2 tbsp (15 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
A pinch of salt
2 tbsp (30 ml) vegetable oil or melted butter
3 tbsp (45 ml) water or milk
1/4 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Optional mix-ins:
A few chocolate chips or chunks
A pinch of instant coffee (for richer flavor)
A few nuts or a spoon of Nutella/peanut butter in the center
Instructions
Mix the Dry Ingredients:
In a microwave-safe mug (about 10–12 oz capacity), stir together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, and salt until combined.
Add the Wet Ingredients:
Add oil, water (or milk), and vanilla.
Stir well until smooth and no dry flour remains.
Fold in chocolate chips or any extras if using.
Microwave:
Microwave on high for 60–90 seconds (time varies by microwave power).
The brownie should look set on top but still slightly gooey in the center.
Cool & Enjoy:
Let it rest for about 1 minute (it will be very hot!).
Top with a scoop of ice cream, whipped cream, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce if you like. 🍦
