Description

This Microwave Brownie in a Mug delivers rich, fudgy chocolate satisfaction in just 90 seconds. With simple ingredients and minimal cleanup, it’s the perfect single-serve dessert for instant chocolate cravings — quick, easy, and irresistibly indulgent.

Ingredients

Scale

1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch of salt
3 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

Lightly grease a microwave-safe mug (10–12 oz capacity).
Add flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir until fully combined and lump-free.
Add milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and just combined.
Fold in chocolate chips and sprinkle a few on top if desired.
Microwave for 60–90 seconds depending on microwave wattage. The brownie should look set on the edges and slightly fudgy in the center.
Cool for 1–2 minutes before serving. Enjoy directly from the mug or invert onto a plate. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.

Notes

Avoid overmixing to maintain a fudgy texture. Start with 60 seconds in the microwave and increase time by 10-second intervals if needed — every microwave varies.
