Begin the recipe by grabbing your favorite standard-size mug. Add 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, 4 tablespoons granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder. Whisk (stir) to combine the dry ingredients together.
Add 1 large egg and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Stir to combine all of the ingredients together, but try not to overmix.
Place the mug brownie into the microwave and cook for about 1 minute. Keep in mind microwaves may vary and the cooking time may need to be adjusted. After 1 minute, check the mug and microwave for an additional 10 seconds at a time, until the brownie is slightly spongy but still gooey.
Carefully remove the brownie from the microwave and allow it to sit for 1 to 2 minutes before serving. Serve warm and top with chopped walnuts and chocolate chips if you prefer. Enjoy!
