Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons all purpose flour
  • 1 ½ tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 tablespoons chocolate chips (plus more for topping)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 ½ tablespoons vegetable oil, melted coconut oil, or melted butter
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Toppings

  • Ice cream
  • Whipped cream
  • Powdered sugar
  • Berries

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a microwave-safe mug, combine 3 tablespoons sugar, 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1 ½ tablespoons cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt. Whisk well with a small whisk or fork to remove lumps and evenly distribute ingredients.
  2. Add Chocolate Chips: Stir in 2 tablespoons of chocolate chips to the dry mixture to ensure bursts of melted chocolate throughout the brownie.
  3. Incorporate Wet Ingredients: Pour in 1 ½ tablespoons of your choice of melted vegetable oil, coconut oil, or butter, alongside 3 tablespoons milk and ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract. Gently stir with a spoon or spatula until just combined, being careful not to overmix to keep the brownie fudgy.
  4. Top and Microwave: Sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top for extra gooeyness. Microwave the mug for 60 seconds, then check doneness; the batter should be set but still fudgy. If needed, heat in 10-second intervals until cooked through, varying based on your microwave’s strength.
  5. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your warm brownie straight from the mug with optional toppings like a scoop of ice cream, whipped cream, a dusting of powdered sugar, or fresh berries for an added burst of flavor.

Notes

  • Use a large microwave-safe mug to prevent overflow.
  • Cooking times may vary depending on microwave wattage—monitor closely to avoid overcooking.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute milk with almond or soy milk and use coconut oil.
  • Adjust sugar quantity to taste if you prefer a less sweet brownie.
  • Let the mug brownie cool for a minute before eating to avoid burns.
