Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons water
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoons chocolate chips or chunks (optional)
Instructions
In a microwave-safe mug (at least 12 ounces in size), whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt until fully combined.
Add the vegetable oil, water, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients in the mug. Stir until smooth and no lumps remain.
If using, fold in the chocolate chips or chunks for extra decadence.
Microwave the mug on high for 60 seconds. Check for doneness; the brownie should look set but slightly gooey in the center. If needed, microwave for an additional 10-15 seconds.
Carefully remove the mug from the microwave (it will be hot!). Let the brownie cool for 1-2 minutes before enjoying.
Serve as is or top with your favorite additions, like a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
