Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 6 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 whole Large egg
- 6 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 pinch Salt
- 2 tablespoons Chocolate chips or chunks (optional)
Instructions
In a microwave-safe mug or small bowl, melt the unsalted butter by microwaving it for 20-30 seconds.
Stir in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Add the egg and mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and all the ingredients are incorporated.
Sift in the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
If desired, fold in chocolate chips or chunks for extra richness.
Smooth the surface of the batter in the mug or bowl, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
Microwave on high power for 1 minute 30 seconds to 2 minutes, depending on the wattage of your microwave. Check for doneness by gently touching the surface; it should be set but still soft in the center.
Let the brownie cool for 1-2 minutes before enjoying it directly from the mug or transferring it to a plate. Serve as is or with a scoop of ice cream!
