Ingredients

4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
0.125 teaspoons salt
3 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
0.25 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a microwave-safe mug, add the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly with a fork or small whisk to combine all the dry ingredients evenly.

Step 2

Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the mug. Stir until a smooth and lump-free batter forms.

Step 3

If desired, fold in chocolate chips for extra chocolaty goodness.

Step 4

Microwave the mug on high power for 60-90 seconds. Start with 60 seconds and check for doneness; the brownie should look set on the top but still slightly gooey in the center.

Step 5

Carefully remove the mug from the microwave (it will be hot). Let it cool for 1-2 minutes before digging in.

Step 6

Enjoy your warm and fudgy brownie straight from the mug, optionally topped with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream!
