Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- Pinch of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
Wet Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Add-ins
- 2 tablespoons chocolate chips
- Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In your mug, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder to evenly distribute the leavening and flavors, ensuring a perfect brownie texture.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until the batter is smooth and lump-free, with the cocoa fully incorporated.
- Add Optional Ingredients: If desired, sprinkle chocolate chips or any additional mix-ins like nuts into the batter and stir lightly to distribute evenly.
- Microwave: Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for exactly 1 minute. Watch carefully as microwaves vary; the brownie should be set but remain moist on top.
- Enjoy Warm: Let the brownie cool for a minute, then enjoy directly from the mug or add your favorite toppings for an indulgent treat.
Notes
- Use a larger mug to prevent overflow and allow room for the batter to rise.
- Check doneness early by microwaving for 50 seconds, then add time in 10-second increments if needed.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the brownie tender.
- Use fresh baking powder for the best rise and fluffiness.
- Try substituting vegetable oil with melted butter for a richer flavor.
- For vegan or dairy-free options, replace milk with almond or oat milk and sugar with maple syrup.
