Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- Pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons chocolate chips plus more for topping
Wet Ingredients
- 1 ½ tablespoons vegetable oil, melted coconut oil, or melted butter
- 3 tablespoons milk
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Toppings
- Ice cream
- Whipped cream
- Powdered sugar
- Berries
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Place the sugar, flour, cocoa powder, and salt into a microwave-safe mug. Use a small whisk or fork to stir the mixture until it is fully combined and free of lumps.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Stir in 2 tablespoons of chocolate chips evenly into the dry mixture.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: Add the melted oil, milk, and vanilla extract to the mug. Stir gently with a spoon or rubber spatula until just combined, being careful not to over-mix to keep the brownie fudgy.
- Top and Microwave: Sprinkle a few additional chocolate chips on top of the batter. Microwave on high for 60 seconds. Check to ensure the brownie is cooked through—there should be no raw batter, but fudgy melted chocolate chips are desirable.
- Adjust Cooking Time if Needed: If the brownie is not fully cooked, microwave in 10-second increments until done. Cooking times may vary based on microwave power and mug size.
- Serve and Enjoy: Eat immediately, optionally topped with ice cream, whipped cream, powdered sugar, or berries for extra flavor and indulgence.
