In this post, we will be showing you how to make a brownie in a mug!
There are many benefits to having a brownie in a mug.
First off, this recipe makes a single serving, so the entire brownie is for you and you only. You can eat as much as you want without any guilt!
Secondly, this brownie only takes about 5 minutes to make. That means you can make yourself a warm dessert during tv commercials. What is better than that?
And lastly, this dessert can be easily disguised as a warm beverage. Is it nine in the morning and you are craving a brownie? Do you think that other people will judge you for eating a brownie at nine in the morning? Fear no more! Everyone around you will think that you are having a nice coffee or hot chocolate. And if you put ice cream and chocolate sauce on top, it looks just like a gourmet hot chocolate. Perfect.
Since this recipe uses the microwave instead of the oven, it is completely kid friendly and is a great way to inspire your kids to start baking! So when you want a brownie, you can make your kids do it. This is a win win for everyone.
Brownie in a Mug Recipe:
Equipment you will need:
A microwavable mug
A microwave
measuring equipment
utensils
napkins (you might get a little messy with how delicious this is!)
Ingredients you will need:
4 tbsp all purpose flour
3 tbsp granulated sugar
2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
4 tbsp milk
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1/4 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
1 tbsp chocolate chips (or your choice of mix in)
1 scoop of ice cream and a drizzle of chocolate sauce (optional but highly recommended)
Instructions:
(more detailed instructions below)
To start off choose your favourite microwave safe mug and get out all of the ingredients you need. In your mug, mix in your flour, sugar, cocoa and baking soda. Mix until all the ingredients are nicely blended together. Next, add in your wet ingredients (milk, vegetable oil and vanilla) and stir these in until you have a nice brownie batter consistency. Sprinkle on your chocolate chips or topping of your choice then mix into your batter.
The next step is to put your mug into the microwave. We put our brownie in the microwave for 1 minute 40 seconds and that was the perfect amount of time. Depending on your microwave, the baking time may change. To be safe, start with 1 minute and 30 seconds and then add on 10 more seconds as needed. To check if your brownie is ready, insert a toothpick into the brownie and if the toothpick comes out clean (without any batter on it) your brownie is ready!
Also be careful taking the mug out of the microwave as it is probably extremely hot.
Once your brownie has cooled down a little bit, add on a scoop of ice cream, some chocolate sauce or any other toppings you may like.
Bon appetit!
