Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tbsp dark or light brown sugar
- A pinch of salt
Wet Ingredients
- 4 tbsp milk
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Extras
- 2 tbsp chocolate chips plus more for topping
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium microwavable mug, mix together the flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt until evenly blended.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract, then stir until just combined to form a smooth batter without overmixing.
- Incorporate Chocolate Chips: Fold in 2 tablespoons of chocolate chips into the batter, then sprinkle a few additional chocolate chips on top for extra gooeyness.
- Microwave the Brownie: Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high power for 60 seconds, or until the brownie has risen and is firm to the touch.
- Check Doneness: If the brownie appears undercooked or wet after one minute, continue microwaving in 5-second intervals, watching closely to avoid overcooking.
- Cool Slightly: Allow the brownie to cool in the mug for 3 to 4 minutes to set and avoid burning your mouth when eating.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve warm as is, or top with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, chocolate sauce, or caramel sauce to enhance the dessert experience.
Notes
- Microwave power varies; adjust cooking time accordingly to avoid over or undercooking.
- The brownie is best enjoyed warm for a soft and gooey texture.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute milk with plant-based milk and use oil accordingly.
- Adding extra chocolate chips on top creates a melty, decadent finish.
- You can customize with toppings of your choice like nuts, sprinkles, or fruit sauces.
