A fast and easy single-serving mug brownie that’s fudgy, gooey, and perfect for a quick chocolate fix. Ready in just 2 minutes using simple pantry staples and a microwave.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 tablespoons (30g) all-purpose flour
  • 4 tablespoons (50g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons (10g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • A pinch of salt
  • 3 tablespoons (45ml) milk (whole milk preferred, any milk or milk alternative works)
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) vegetable oil (canola or sunflower recommended)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or a pinch of cinnamon

Instructions

  1. In a microwave-safe mug, combine 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 4 tablespoons granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons cocoa powder, 1/4 teaspoon baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir thoroughly to break up lumps and blend evenly.
  2. Add 3 tablespoons milk, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract to the mug. Mix well until smooth and thick with no dry spots.
  3. Optional: Stir in about 1 tablespoon of chocolate chips or nuts if desired.
  4. Microwave on high for 1 minute 30 seconds to 2 minutes, checking at 1:30 to avoid overcooking. The brownie should be set on top but still gooey in the center.
  5. Let the mug brownie rest for 1-2 minutes to cool and firm up before eating.

Notes

Measure ingredients carefully to avoid dry or rubbery texture. Start microwaving at 1:30 minutes and add time in small increments if needed. Let brownie rest after microwaving for best fudgy texture. Optional add-ins like chocolate chips or nuts add extra flavor and texture. For gluten-free, substitute flour with almond or gluten-free flour. For dairy-free, use plant-based milk and coconut oil.
