Description
Nothing beats the joy of a warm, gooey mug brownie when those late-night chocolate cravings hit. This quick, single-serve dessert is rich, comforting, and completely customizable — ready in under 5 minutes with no oven required!
Ingredients
4 tbsp all-purpose flour
2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp milk (any kind)
2 tbsp neutral oil (canola or melted butter)
Pinch of salt
Optional: chocolate chips, peanut butter, crushed cookies
Instructions
1. Grab a ceramic mug — wide, not tall works best.
2. Add dry ingredients: flour, cocoa, salt, sugar. Mix thoroughly with a fork.
3. Stir in milk and oil. The batter should be smooth and lump-free.
4. Fold in goodies like chocolate chips or Nutella if you’re feeling extra.
5. Microwave for 60-90 seconds. Watch it rise like magic!
6. Let it rest briefly. Then top with whipped cream or scoop ice cream for contrast.
7. Tip: Want a molten center? Press half a chocolate square into the batter before cooking.
Notes
For best results, microwave in 50-second intervals. Wattage may affect timing.
Try variations like mint chocolate, Mexican spice, espresso, or seasonal twists like pumpkin puree or peppermint bits.
