Description

Try this microwaved brownie in a mug for a quick chocolate treat when you fancy some dessert. It's ready in 5 minutes and will surely satisfy any chocolate cravings.

Ingredients

1/4 cup white sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, optional
1 pinch salt
3 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1 Whisk together sugar, flour, cocoa powder, cinnamon, and salt in a microwave-safe mug.
2 Add milk, melted butter, and vanilla and mix well with a spatula, making sure the dry ingredients at the bottom get incorporated.
3 Microwave on high for 1 minute. Brownie will still be moist in the middle. If brownie appears too fudgy, microwave for another 30 seconds until desired consistency is reached. Do not microwave for more than 2 minutes total. The longer you cook it, the more cake-like the brownie becomes.
4 Cool for 5 minutes before eating, if you can wait that long!
