Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Batter
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk (or dairy-free milk)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or melted butter)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder (optional, for a slightly fluffier texture)
Optional Add-ins
- 2 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional, for extra gooeyness)
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a microwave-safe mug (12 oz size or larger), whisk together the unsweetened cocoa powder, granulated sugar, salt, and baking powder if using. This ensures the dry ingredients are well combined.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Stir the mixture thoroughly until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- Incorporate Chocolate Chips: If desired, fold in the chocolate chips to add extra gooeyness and richness to the brownie.
- Microwave Cook: Microwave the mug on high power for 1 to 1 minute 30 seconds. The brownie should set but remain slightly soft in the center to retain a fudgy texture.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the brownie to cool for a couple of minutes to set further. Serve as is or top with ice cream, whipped cream, or a drizzle of chocolate syrup for an extra decadent treat.
Notes
- Microwave wattages vary; adjust the cooking time accordingly to avoid overcooking.
- Using baking powder is optional but helps create a slightly fluffier texture.
- Substitute dairy milk with almond, soy, or oat milk for a dairy-free option.
- You can replace vegetable oil with melted butter for a richer flavor.
- Ensure to use a microwave-safe mug of at least 12 oz to prevent overflow during cooking.
