Equipment
- 1 microwave
- 1 mug
- 1 spoon
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
- 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!

Notes
- You may adjust the amount of sugar or use a sugar substitute if you prefer. Brown sugar may also be used if you prefer.
- Stir in some finely chopped walnuts or pecans to the brownie mixture before placing it into the microwave.
- Try not the overmix the brownie mixture or you may end up with a brownie that is dry and tough.
- Lightly beat the egg in a separate small bowl for easier mixing.
- Melted butter can be substituted instead of using vegetable oil.
- The brownie will rise during baking, but as it cools it will settle and reduce in size, this is normal.
- Top the finished brownie with a scoop of your favorite ice cream, some chocolate chips, or even some peanut butter.
