Mug Brownie

3 Steps Mug Brownie Recipe

By now I’m sure everyone and their grandmother has seen the Dizzy Dee microwave chocolate cake in a mug. However, whenever I’ve made it, I’ve found it to be somewhat gelatinous and, quite frankly, not really chocolatey. In its stead, here’s a brownie recipe that I’ve been using for a while and with which I’ve gotten MUCH better result. Note: This really is more for those of you who prefer “fudgey” brownies to “cakey” ones.

Ingredients:
4 Tablespoons Flour
4 Tablespoons Sugar
2 Tablespoons Cocoa powder (Note: don’t use cocoa mix or quik, it shouldn’t have any sugar)
2 Tablepsoons Vegetable Oil (Don’t use one with a strong flavor, eg olive, sesame, etc)
2 Tablespoons Water
Dash of salt
Mug
Microwave

Step 1: Mixing

Add the sugar, flour, cocoa, and salt to the mug and mix. Then add the oil and water and mix the dry and wet ingredients together. Be sure to be thorough, there’s a tendency for clumps of the dry ingredients to form

Step 2: Microwaving

Microwave on high for roughly a minute. You may have to microwave it longer or shorter, depending on your microwave, but the brownie should still be wet in the center when done.
