Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 pinch of kosher salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Bailey’s Irish Cream Liqueur
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or melted butter
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-ins and Serving
- 2 tablespoons chocolate chips
- Vanilla ice cream, for serving
Instructions
- Combine dry ingredients: In a microwave-safe mug, thoroughly mix the flour, sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, and kosher salt until well combined, ensuring an even base for the brownie batter.
- Add wet ingredients: Pour in the Bailey’s Irish Cream, vegetable oil (or melted butter), and vanilla extract. Stir everything together until you achieve a uniform batter with no dry pockets.
- Incorporate chocolate chips: Fold the chocolate chips into the batter evenly to create pockets of melty chocolate throughout your brownie.
- Microwave the brownie: Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 60 to 75 seconds. The brownie should be set but still moist when done; cooking times may vary depending on your microwave’s power.
- Serve with ice cream: Carefully remove the mug from the microwave, allow to cool slightly to avoid burns, and serve immediately topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a warm-and-cold contrast.
Notes
- Microwave times vary; start with 60 seconds and add extra time if needed to prevent overcooking.
- Use either vegetable oil or melted butter according to your preference for richness.
- The pinch of kosher salt enhances the chocolate flavor and balances sweetness.
- For a stronger Bailey’s flavor, you can add an extra half tablespoon, but reduce other liquids accordingly.
- If you want a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
- Enjoy the brownie warm as it will firm up as it cools.
