Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 4 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In your favorite microwave-safe mug, stir together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt until evenly mixed.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Add melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract to the mug, mixing thoroughly to create a smooth, consistent batter without lumps.
  3. Microwave: Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 60 seconds. Keep an eye out to avoid overcooking—the brownie should be set but still moist.
  4. Cool Slightly and Enjoy: Let your brownie cool for a minute before digging in to avoid burning your mouth and to enhance the fudgy texture.

Notes

  • Use fresh, unsweetened cocoa powder for the richest chocolate flavor.
  • Microwave ovens vary, so adjust cooking time slightly to achieve the perfect moist texture.
  • Stir batter just until combined to avoid tough, chewy brownies.
  • Use a mug that holds at least 12 ounces to prevent overflow during cooking.
  • A pinch of salt balances sweetness and enhances chocolate flavor.
