Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 0.25 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 tablespoon Chocolate chips
Instructions
In a microwave-safe mug or small bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
Add the vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients, and stir until you have a smooth batter.
Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they're evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Microwave the mug or bowl on high for 45-60 seconds, depending on your microwave's power (start with 45 seconds and check for doneness). The brownie should look set but still slightly gooey in the center.
Allow the brownie to cool for 1-2 minutes, as it will be very hot right out of the microwave.
Enjoy your emergency brownie straight from the mug or bowl with a spoon, and consider topping it with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence!
