Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons (22.5 g) unsweetened natural cocoa powder
- 1/3 cup (60 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Sweeteners:
- 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons (25 g) light brown sugar
Additional Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons (45 ml) water
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) canola or vegetable oil
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch salt (to taste)
Optional Serving:
- ice cream or whipped topping
Instructions
- Whisk together granulated sugar, cocoa, water, oil, brown sugar, vanilla, and salt in a microwave-safe bowl until smooth and well-blended.
- Gently fold in flour, stirring just until incorporated without overmixing to maintain a tender texture.
- Sprinkle chocolate chips throughout the batter, distributing evenly with a light fold.
- Microwave on high for approximately 1 minute, watching carefully. For precision, pause at 45 seconds and check consistency. Continue cooking in 15-second increments until the center sets and reaches desired firmness, typically 60-90 seconds total.
- Allow the mug brownie to rest for 30 seconds after microwaving to complete internal cooking and stabilize texture.
- Enhance serving with a dollop of vanilla ice cream or fluffy whipped cream, presenting immediately while warm for optimal enjoyment.
Notes
- Customize chocolate intensity by adjusting cocoa quantity for deeper or milder flavor profiles.
- Consider using dark chocolate chips or adding nuts for extra texture and complexity.
- Control portion size and cooking time precisely to prevent overcooking and maintain moist, gooey consistency.
