lost time.

I absolutely love small batch desserts

(these Small Batch Vanilla Cupcakes are
one of my most popular recipes). I often
crave something sweet, yet I don’t want to
make a recipe that yields dozens of
servings (read: little-to-no self control over
here).

For those times that I need something rich,

fudgy, and comforting IMMEDIATELY – I
turn to this Brownie in a Mug recipe. It is
unbelievably easy, and it has me diving into
a warm brownie in a matter of minutes.
Seriously, LESS THAN 5 MINUTES. Gah!

It took me a while to get this recipe exactly

the way I wanted it. There are a lot of
Brownie in a Mug recipes floating around
the internet, but none of them had
everything I wanted. I wanted my brownie
to be fudgy, tender, super chocolaty, and it
had to be prepared in the actual mug. I did
not want to dirty a bunch of dishes to make
a single serving brownie. I’m happy to
report success! Here’s what I came up
with…

Brownie in a Mug

How to Make a Brownie in a

Mug:
Start by mixing the dry ingredients in
your mug – flour, sugar, cocoa, salt.

Add the chocolate chips – these make

our brownie fudgy!

Stir in the wet ingredients – oil, vanilla

and milk.

Sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on

top (because, why not?!)

Microwave it for about 90 seconds.

Top it with your favorite garnishes: ice

cream, whipped cream, powdered
sugar, berries.

Devour that beautiful thing!

Although this recipe makes one brownie in

a mug, I would say that is definitely enough
to serve two adults. It is very rich and
satisfying, and a little goes a long way.
Plus, if you’re like my family, we are
definitely topping our brownie with vanilla
ice cream, so that stretches it even further.

When baking small batch or single serving

recipes, it is important to measure your
ingredients properly. I will also note that the
texture of this brownie is just a teensy bit
off from the typical brownie texture I love
(see here). But, seeing as how this is a
single serving, made in one mug, in less
than 5 minutes, I am not going to complain.
This recipe will definitely satisfy a brownie
craving.

Tips for making a Brownie in a Mug:

A standard size mug is fine. I have

made this in a 12oz mug and a 16oz
mug.

Don’t over mix your ingredients, which

can lead to a tough brownie.

Don’t overcook it. Microwaves vary, so

start by cooking it 1 minute, and then
an additional 15-30 seconds as
necessary.

Do not skip the chocolate chips. They

make our brownie fudgy.

Looking for a fun twist? Try one of

these: Add a dollop of raspberry jam to
the brownie batter. Stir in some
chopped peanut butter cups. Add a
tablespoon of chopped walnuts. Drizzle
the top with caramel sauce.

Now what are you waiting for? You are a

mere 5 minutes from diving into a warm
brownie.

It was so easy to make and absolutely

delicious. I didn’t have chocolate chips
but I did have walnuts, so I added
those.

This recipe is fantastic! I used Bob’s

Red Mill 1:1 gluten free flour and it
worked perfectly. Also, when I was
halfway through the recipe I realized I
didn’t have oil so I decided to use apple
sauce and that worked well. Reply to
this how many times you’ve baked
something and forgot an ingredient in
the middle, lol! I loved this so much and
would definitely do it again, and I loved
that the chocolate chips we melted. I
love melted chocolate chips in my
desserts!
