- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Extras:

Instructions
- Grab your favorite microwave-safe mug and toss in 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1 ½ tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt.
- Whisk the dry ingredients together until your mixture looks smooth with zero lumpy spots.
- Sprinkle 2 tablespoons chocolate chips into the mug and gently fold them through the powdery mixture.
- Pour 1 ½ tablespoons vegetable oil, 3 tablespoons milk, and ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract directly into your mug.
- Stir everything quickly until the batter looks uniform and no dry pockets remain.
- Scatter an extra handful of chocolate chips across the surface of your batter.
- Place the mug in the microwave and cook at full power for 60 seconds.
- Check the brownie’s consistency – if it looks slightly underdone in the center, microwave in 10-second bursts until just set.
- Remove carefully (the mug will be hot) and let rest for 30 seconds to finish cooking.
- Top with a scoop of cold vanilla ice cream or a dusting of powdered sugar before diving in.
Notes
- Check the consistency of your batter before microwaving to ensure smooth, lump-free mixing.
- Use room temperature milk for easier blending and more even cooking in the mug.
- For a richer chocolate flavor, swap some cocoa powder with melted dark chocolate.
- Gluten-free bakers can substitute regular flour with almond or coconut flour for a dietary-friendly version.
