Ingredients
Scale
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 tablespoons melted butter or neutral oil
- 3 tablespoons whole milk (or any milk alternative)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Select a microwave-safe mug that holds at least 8 to 10 ounces to prevent overflow. Add the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, and salt directly into the mug. Use a small whisk or a fork to stir the dry ingredients together until the mixture is a uniform color and no large lumps of cocoa remain.
- Pour the melted butter or oil, milk, and vanilla extract into the mug with the dry mixture. Stir vigorously until the batter becomes smooth and glossy. Be sure to scrape the bottom “corners” of the mug to ensure no pockets of dry flour remain. Once the batter is smooth, fold in the chocolate chips.
- Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high power for 60 to 90 seconds. The brownie is done when the top looks set but still appears slightly moist in the center. Do not overcook, as it will continue to firm up as it rests. Let the brownie sit for at least one minute before eating to allow the fudgy texture to fully develop.
