For the Brownie:
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour for structure
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar for sweetness
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder for chocolate flavor

Method
 

Instructions:
  1. In your microwave-safe mug, add the flour, brown sugar, and cocoa powder. Stir with a fork or whisk until well combined.
  2. Pour in the milk and vegetable oil, then add salt and vanilla extract. Mix until you have a smooth batter.
  3. Microwave on high for about 1 minute and 30 seconds. Adjust time based on your microwave's wattage. The brownie should be risen and set in the middle.

  • Experiment with different types of milk for dietary preferences.
  • Try using dark cocoa powder for a richer flavor.
