Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 tablespoons chocolate chips (plus extra for topping)
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Toppings

  • Powdered sugar (for topping)
  • Vanilla ice cream (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Mix dry: In a microwave-safe mug, combine the granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, and unsweetened cocoa powder. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is lump-free to ensure even texture in the brownie.
  2. Add wet: Incorporate the chocolate chips, vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract into the dry mixture. Stir gently until just combined to avoid overmixing and maintain a fudgy consistency.
  3. Microwave: Sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top of the batter. Microwave the mug on high for 60 seconds, then check the center. If it needs more time, microwave in additional 10-second bursts until the brownie is set but still moist inside.
  4. Rest: Let the brownie rest for about 1 minute to finish cooking and cool slightly. Serve as is with a dusting of powdered sugar or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat.

Notes

  • Be careful not to overcook the brownie to prevent it from becoming dry; it should remain moist and fudgy in the center.
  • Use a microwave-safe mug to avoid any accidents or damage to your microwave.
  • You can customize by using dairy-free milk or oil alternatives for dietary preferences.
  • For extra gooeyness, add a few chocolate chips on top before microwaving.
  • This recipe is designed for a single serving; double the ingredients for more servings and microwave separately.
