Ingredients

1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar

2 tbsp vegetable oil (or melted butter)
3 tbsp water
1/4 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

In a microwave-safe mug or small bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, and salt.
Add the oil, water, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and well combined.
Fold in chocolate chips or nuts if using.
Microwave on high for 60 to 90 seconds, depending on your microwave’s wattage. Start checking at 60 seconds.
Let cool for a minute or two before digging in. Enjoy warm, straight from the mug!

Notes

Add a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on top for an extra treat.
Don’t overcook—microwaves vary, and the brownie will continue to cook slightly after removing it.
You can double the recipe for a larger portion, but adjust the cook time accordingly.
