Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 small pinch Pinch of salt
- 3 tablespoons Milk
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.25 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Dark chocolate chips (for glaze)
- 1 teaspoon Milk (for glaze)
Instructions
In a microwave-safe mug or small bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly with a fork to avoid lumps.
Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and stir until a smooth batter forms.
Microwave the mug on high power for 90 seconds to 2 minutes, depending on your microwave's wattage. Check at the 90-second mark and continue cooking if necessary. The brownie should rise and look set but slightly moist on top.
Carefully remove the mug from the microwave (it will be hot). Allow the brownie to cool for 1-2 minutes.
While the brownie cools, prepare the chocolate glaze by combining the dark chocolate chips and 1 teaspoon of milk in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 10-second increments, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Drizzle the chocolate glaze over the brownie or spread it evenly with a spoon.
Serve warm and enjoy your rich, fudgy treat!
