Instructions
Preparation
- Gather Your Ingredients: Assemble all the ingredients listed above. Grab a microwave-safe mug or bowl that holds at least 12 ounces.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In your chosen mug, add the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, and salt. Stir together until evenly combined.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the vegetable oil and water. Mix thoroughly until a smooth batter forms. Ensure no dry flour is left on the bottom!
- Optional Add-Ins: If you’re feeling adventurous, fold in some chocolate chips or chopped nuts now for a richer flavor profile.
- Microwave: Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 40-60 seconds. Keep an eye on it; stopping a bit early is better than overcooking.
- Cool & Enjoy: Allow the brownie to cool for a minute before digging in. Top with whipped cream or ice cream if desired.
Notes
Feel free to use coconut oil instead of vegetable oil for a tropical twist. Avoid using a mug that's too small to prevent overflow. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for 2-3 days and reheat in the microwave for 10-15 seconds.
