Instructions

Combine dry ingredients

In a microwave-safe mug, mix together 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder until well combined.

Add wet ingredients

Add 3 tablespoons milk, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Stir until smooth and no lumps remain.

Pro tip: Ensure all dry ingredients are fully incorporated into the wet mixture.

Include optional add-ins

If desired, stir in 1 tablespoon of chocolate chips or chopped nuts for added texture.

Pro tip: Press a few chocolate chips on top for a melty finish.

Microwave the mixture

Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 60 to 90 seconds, depending on microwave wattage. Start with 60 seconds and check. The brownie should be set but still slightly gooey in the centre.

Pro tip: Microwaving time may vary; adjust accordingly.

Let it cool

Allow the mug brownie to cool for a minute or two before enjoying. Be cautious as the mug will be hot.

Pro tip: Cooling helps the brownie firm up slightly for a better texture.
