Description
This One-Minute Microwave Brownie is the ultimate single-serve dessert when you’re craving something sweet and chocolatey, but don’t want to wait. It’s gooey, fudgy, and comes together in one mug with just a few pantry staples—no oven required!
Ingredients
-
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
-
1/4 cup granulated sugar
-
2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
-
Pinch of salt
-
2 tbsp vegetable oil (or melted butter)
-
2 tbsp water (or milk, for a richer taste)
-
1/4 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
-
1 tbsp chocolate chips (optional, for extra gooeyness)
Instructions
-
In a microwave-safe mug (10–12 oz size), whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, and salt.
-
Stir in oil, water (or milk), and vanilla extract until smooth and combined.
-
Fold in chocolate chips if using.
-
Microwave on high for 50–60 seconds. Don’t overcook—edges should look set, but the center can be a little soft.
-
Let cool for 1–2 minutes (it’s hot!), then dig in as-is or top with ice cream, whipped cream, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce.
Notes
-
Mug size matters—use a larger mug to prevent overflow.
-
Want it extra gooey? Use a few chocolate chunks or a spoonful of Nutella in the center.
-
Adjust sweetness or cocoa to taste—this recipe is super flexible!
