Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 tablespoons milk (or almond milk/oat milk for dairy-free)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (or coconut oil)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: Chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or a sprinkle of sea salt

Instructions

  1. In a microwave-safe mug, add 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/4 teaspoon baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
  2. Use a fork or small whisk to mix the dry ingredients until well combined.
  3. Pour in 2 tablespoons of milk, 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, and 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  4. Mix everything together until you have a smooth, lump-free batter. The consistency should be thick but pourable.
  5. Optional: Stir in a teaspoon of chocolate chips or any other add-ins like nuts or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
  6. Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 60-90 seconds. Keep an eye on itβ€”the brownie will puff up while cooking.
  7. Let the brownie cool for a minute or two before digging in.
