Brownie in a Mug
Print Recipe
This is my famous brownie in a mug.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp sunflower oil
- 30 g plain flour
- 3 tbsp sugar
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- pinch of salt
- pinch of cinnamon in winter
- 3 tbsp milk
- ⅛ tsp vanilla extract
- Ice cream or skooshy cream for serving
Instructions
- Place the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, salt and cinnamon in your microwave-safe mug. Mix with a fork until you get a sandy texture with no clumps.
- Integrate the oil with a fork until a paste forms.
- Pour in the milk and vanilla, then give it a good stir. The batter might seem a bit runny, but no worries, it's supposed to look that way.
- Microwave the mixture, uncovered, at full blast for a minute. When done, your brownie should appear somewhat moist; it's alright to have a few wet spots. Those will firm up during the resting period.
- Let the brownie cool its heels for 4 minutes. It's still cooking inside, so curb your impatience. The flavour and texture are worth the wait.
- Crown your masterpiece with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or some skooshy cream. Then dig in.
Notes
Some mugs don't fare well in microwaves because they contain metal in their ceramic glaze. They'll work, but they might become rather hot. It's best to stick to a plain, everyday mug.
