Ingredients:

  • 4 tablespoons (30g) all-purpose flour
  • 4 tablespoons (25g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons (15g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3 tablespoons (45ml) milk (any kind will do)
  • 3 tablespoons (45ml) vegetable oil (or melted butter)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons chocolate chips (milk, dark, or white – your call!)

Instructions:

  1. In the mug, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  2. Add the milk, oil (or melted butter), and vanilla extract to the mug.
  3. Stir until just combined, making sure there are no lumps. Don’t overmix!
  4. If using, gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  5. Microwave on high for 60-70 seconds. Start with 60 seconds and check for doneness.
  6. The brownie should be slightly gooey in the center but cooked around the edges. If it's still too wet, microwave for another 10 seconds at a time, until desired consistency.
  7. Let cool for a minute or two before tucking in. Be careful, it'll be hot!
