Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Dutch-process cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 pinch salt
Wet Ingredients
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon egg, beaten
Add-ins
- 2 tablespoons chocolate chunks or chips
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Stir together the flour, cocoa powder, brown sugar, and salt in a 6 to 8-ounce microwave-safe mug until well mixed.
- Prepare Egg: In a separate bowl, thoroughly beat one egg with a fork or whisk. Measure out 1 tablespoon of the beaten egg and add it to the mug mixture.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the vanilla extract, milk, and vegetable oil into the mug. Stir well to create a smooth brownie batter. Fold in half of the chocolate chunks into the batter and sprinkle the remaining chunks on top.
- Microwave Cooking: Microwave the mug on high for 1 minute to 1 minute 15 seconds. The brownie is ready when the surface no longer looks wet and is set but still moist.
Notes
- Use a microwave-safe mug with a capacity of 6 to 8 ounces to prevent overflow.
- Cooking times may vary depending on the microwave’s power; watch closely to avoid overcooking.
- For a fudgier texture, reduce cooking time slightly.
- Substitute chocolate chips with your favorite mix-ins like nuts or peanut butter for variation.
- Make sure to beat the egg thoroughly for better incorporation in the batter.
