Have you ever craved something chocolate and didn't want to bake a whole cake or heat up the kitchen? I know, silly question! Well, for times like that or to just treat yourself or someone else, I found a dandy recipe that comes to the rescue, a mug brownie! There is no mess, it's all assembled in a coffee mug and baked in the microwave in a snap! Since all microwave ovens are not the same on speed, you may have to practice with yours, mine took more like 2 mintues, so keep that in mind.
Mug Brownie
4 Tablespoons flour
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa powder ( the real stuff)
2 tablespoons veggie oil
2 tablespoons water
dash of salt
mug
microwave
Place dry ingredients in a coffee mug and mix well with fork. Add oil and water, mix well again. Microwave on high for 1 min. ( could be more or less depending on your microwave) The brownie should be wet in the center when done. Let cool, enjoy!
Wouldn't this make a cute Mother's Day gift idea? And for hot summer nights when you want something sweet and gooey? I hope you will treat yourself to this treat, you'll have too before you make it for someone else! Enjoy!
OOhhh that sounds so good. I love me some chocolate. Sometimes nothing else will do. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
ReplyDeleteSounds great! I tried a recipe almost like this one that included an egg in the mix. It turned out more like chocolate cake, but was kind of scary when it was baking, as the egg made it puff way up above the rim of the mug! Your brownie recipe sounds even more delicious and gooey. I will try definitely try it.
