Description

A quick and easy Flourless Chocolate Mug Brownie that can be made in just minutes using simple pantry ingredients. Perfect for a single serving indulgence, this rich and fudgy brownie is made without flour and can be prepared in a microwave-safe mug for a fast chocolate fix.


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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Incorporate Chocolate Chips: If desired, fold in the chocolate chips to add extra gooeyness and richness to the brownie.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
