Microwave Brownie in a Mug - single serving size



Microwave Brownie in a Mug

Last night my older daughter came over for supper.  I made homemade spaghetti for us (cooked on top of the stove but similar to this recipe).  It was great!  We were browsing Pinterest and dreaming up more things to cook.  But also having a serious "hankering" for something sweet!  What to have?  My daughter mentioned that she wished we had some brownies and knowing like I do that she and her Iphone are best buds, I told her to search for a recipe for "brownie in a mug" to see what she could find. 

Boing!  There it was!  So we tried this recipe and it was delicious, warm, gooey, chocolate?  Need I say more?

Here's how we made Microwavae Brownies in a Mug AT HOME MY WAY:

Microwave Brownie in a Mug

·         2 Tablespoons Oil (I used canola)

·         2 Tablespoons Water

·         ¼ teaspoon Vanilla

·         Dash Salt

·         4 Tablespoons Sugar (white, granulated)

·         2 Tablespoons Cocoa powder (unsweetened)

·         4 Tablespoons Flour (all purpose)

Instructions:  Add the ingredients to a 12 ounce microwave proof mug (I swirled the oil around the sides a little bit) in the order listed, stirring well after each addition.  Microwave on high 60-90 seconds (Ours took 70 seconds.)  It should look slightly molten in the middle when finished.  We just stuck in a spoon to see that it was just right!  (It didn't swell much so you don't have to allow a lot of room for it to rise when cooking.) Be careful!  Very hot and so delicious you will want to drive right in.

This is how much we liked our dessert!
