A quick and easy microwave mug brownie recipe that is rich, fudgy, and ready in just 2 minutes, perfect for satisfying chocolate cravings without the fuss of traditional baking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour (about 30 grams)
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (preferably Dutch-processed)
  • 4 tablespoons granulated sugar (white or brown sugar works)
  • A small pinch of salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3 tablespoons milk (whole or 2%; almond or oat milk for dairy-free option)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or melted butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: A handful of chocolate chips or chopped nuts

Instructions

  1. Grease your microwave-safe mug lightly with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In the mug or a small bowl, combine 4 tablespoons flour, 2 tablespoons cocoa powder, 4 tablespoons sugar, a pinch of salt, and 1/8 teaspoon baking powder. Stir well to ensure even distribution.
  3. Add 3 tablespoons milk, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir until the batter is smooth and glossy, but do not overmix; a few small lumps are okay.
  4. Fold in a tablespoon of chocolate chips or chopped nuts if using.
  5. Microwave on high for 70-90 seconds (1 minute 10 seconds to 1 minute 30 seconds). The top should look set but slightly moist. Avoid overcooking to prevent dryness.
  6. Let the brownie rest for 1-2 minutes before eating to firm up slightly.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to avoid toughness. Grease the mug well to prevent sticking. Microwave ovens vary in power; start with 70 seconds and add time in 10-15 second increments if needed. For gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free blend. For vegan, use almond or oat milk and coconut oil instead of vegetable oil. Optional add-ins include chocolate chips, nuts, peanut butter swirl, or a pinch of cayenne or cinnamon for a spicy kick.
