Mug Brownie

If you like simple, easy clean up, individual servings, and ooey-gooey warm brownies... the I have the recipe for you!!!!!!!!!!! This recipe is simple and easy and we looooooove it! It may even replace our Thanksgiving pie plans!!!! haha I said MAY... maybe I will just do both ;)

Ingredients:
4 Tablespoons Flour
4 Tablespoons Sugar
2 Tablespoons Cocoa powder (Note: don't use cocoa mix or quik, it shouldn't have any sugar)
2 Tablepsoons Vegetable Oil (Don't use one with a strong flavor, eg olive, sesame, etc)
2 Tablespoons Water
Dash of salt
Mug
Microwave



Directions:
Add the sugar, flour, cocoa, and salt to the mug and mix. Then add the oil and water and mix the dry and wet ingredients together. Be sure to be thorough, there's a tendency for clumps of the dry ingredients to form.


Microwave on high for roughly a minute. You may have to microwave it longer or shorter, depending on your microwave, but the brownie should still be wet in the center when done.


It's done! Let it cool, grab a spoon, and dig in straight from the mug.

This was my first attempt, which I made one afternoon for just me. If the recipe failed... I didn't want to give my Husband false hope of a delicious dessert!

...and since it didn't fail (and was sooo delicious I just HAD to share!) This is the one I made for him the following night! Another success! And it got his seal of approval! As well as mine! I didn't have to do dishes AND got to eat my "cake" too!

I recommend adding a scoop of ice cream for maximum deliciousness!!!!!!!

  1. The batter tasted just right but the oil settled to the top and just boiled. I dumped it out because the cake was almost solid and put it back in for a few seconds and it burned. Were the oil proportions correct?
