Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2½ tablespoons vegetable oil
Supporting Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 2 tablespoons chocolate chips
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Finishing Ingredients:
- 1 generous pinch salt
- Chocolate chips for sprinkling
- Ice cream to serve
Instructions
- Grab a 10- to 12-ounce microwave-safe coffee mug and add 3 tablespoons cocoa powder, 3 tablespoons flour, 3 tablespoons sugar, and a generous pinch of salt directly into the mug.
- Take a fork and thoroughly blend the dry ingredients until they are completely integrated and no lumps remain.
- Pour 3 tablespoons milk, 2½ tablespoons vegetable oil, and ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract into the mug. Stir gently until the dry ingredients are just barely incorporated.
- Fold 2 tablespoons chocolate chips into the batter, mixing until the texture becomes smooth and uniform.
- Scatter a few extra chocolate chips across the surface of the batter for additional chocolate intensity.
- Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high power for 1 minute, watching as the brownie rises and develops moist patches on top.
- If the center appears raw after the initial minute, continue microwaving in 10-second increments until the brownie is set but still slightly gooey.
- Allow the mug brownie to rest and cool for 2-3 minutes before topping with a scoop of cold ice cream and serving immediately.
Notes
- Test your microwave’s power, as cooking times can vary between models, which affects the brownie’s texture and doneness.
- Dairy-free alternatives like almond milk work perfectly, and coconut oil can replace vegetable oil for different flavor profiles.
- Gluten-free flour blends make this recipe accessible for those with wheat sensitivities, maintaining the same rich chocolate experience.
- Customize the chocolate chips by using dark, milk, or white chocolate versions to match your personal chocolate preference.
