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
Add-ins and Toppings
- 2 tbsp chocolate chips, plus more for topping
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium microwavable mug, mix the flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt thoroughly to distribute all dry elements evenly.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Stir gently until the batter is just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Incorporate Chocolate Chips: Fold in 2 tablespoons of chocolate chips into the batter, then sprinkle a few more on top to create melty pockets of chocolate.
- Microwave the Brownie: Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 60 seconds. The brownie should rise and feel firm to the touch but still moist inside.
- Adjust Cooking if Needed: If the brownie looks raw after one minute, continue microwaving in 5-second increments, monitoring it closely to avoid overcooking.
- Cool Slightly: Remove the mug from the microwave and let the brownie cool for 3-4 minutes before serving. This resting time helps it set and prevents burns from hot steam.
- Serve with Toppings: Enjoy your warm brownie plain, or enhance it by adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a dollop of whipped cream, or drizzling chocolate or caramel sauce for extra indulgence.
Notes
- Microwave power levels vary; adjust cooking times accordingly to avoid over or undercooking.
- This recipe is single-serving, perfect for a quick dessert fix.
- You can substitute dairy milk with plant-based alternatives to make it vegan, but note the original recipe contains oil and no eggs, already eggless.
- Adding nuts or different types of chocolate chips can enhance texture and flavor.
- Consume the brownie soon after cooking for best texture and flavor.
