🛒 Ingredients

1 servings

1
  • 2 1/2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 3 tbsp water
  • 2 tbsp neutral oil (sunflower or canola)
  • 1 small pinch of salt

Directions

  1. 1

    Add the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt to a large microwave-safe mug. Stir the dry ingredients together until well combined.

  2. 2

    Pour in the water and oil. Mix vigorously with a spoon for about 30 seconds until a smooth, lump-free batter forms.

  3. 3

    Microwave on full power for 1 minute. Check doneness — the center should look slightly underdone and fudgy. If needed, microwave in 20-second bursts until just set.

  4. 4

    Let it rest for 1 minute before eating. Enjoy straight from the mug while still warm for the best gooey texture!

💡 Chef's Tip

Stir in a few chocolate chips or a spoonful of peanut butter before microwaving for an extra indulgent treat. Don't overcook — a slightly soft center is what makes a great brownie!
