When you are studying late and need a little something sweet, this mug brownie is a total lifesaver. It is quick to make and uses basic pantry staples you likely already have on hand.

I love how you can customize this by adding a pinch of salt or a few extra chocolate chips on top. It is the perfect portion for one person when the craving hits.

Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons all purpose flour
  • 4 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 1 tablespoon chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. 1

    Combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, and salt in a large microwave safe mug.

  2. 2

    Stir in the milk and vegetable oil until the batter is smooth and no dry patches remain.

  3. 3

    Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top of the batter.

  4. 4

    Microwave on high for about 90 seconds. The center should look set but still slightly moist.

  5. 5

    Let it cool for at least two minutes before eating so the center firms up and you do not burn your tongue.

💡 Tips

Serve this with a tiny scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on top. If you have leftovers, cover the mug tightly with plastic wrap and store it at room temperature for up to one day.
