Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 0.25 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 pinch Salt
• 1 tablespoon Chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

In a microwave-safe mug or small bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt until well combined.

Step 2

Add the vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients, and stir until you have a smooth batter.

Step 3

Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they're evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 4

Microwave the mug or bowl on high for 45-60 seconds, depending on your microwave's power (start with 45 seconds and check for doneness). The brownie should look set but still slightly gooey in the center.

Step 5

Allow the brownie to cool for 1-2 minutes, as it will be very hot right out of the microwave.

Step 6

Enjoy your emergency brownie straight from the mug or bowl with a spoon, and consider topping it with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence!
