1. Mix the Batter
- In a microwave-safe mug, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, and salt.
- Stir in milk, oil, and vanilla until smooth.
- Fold in chocolate chips or nuts if using.
2. Microwave
- Cook on high for 60–90 seconds (time depends on your microwave).
- The top should look set but slightly gooey in the center.
3. Add the Final Touch
- Let cool for 1 minute (it will be very hot).
- Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Tips for the Perfect Mug Brownie
- Don’t overcook — the brownie will firm up as it cools.
- Use a wide mug to prevent overflow.
- For extra richness, add a spoonful of Nutella or peanut butter to the center before microwaving.
- Sprinkle with sea salt for that gourmet touch.
