Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour (about 30 grams)
  • 4 tablespoons granulated sugar (50 grams)
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (10 grams)
  • A pinch of salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3 tablespoons milk (whole or 2%, 45 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (30 ml)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon chocolate chips or chopped nuts
  • Ice cream scoop (vanilla or favorite flavor) for topping

Instructions

  1. Gather your ingredients. Measure out 4 tablespoons (30 g) of all-purpose flour, 4 tablespoons (50 g) of granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons (10 g) of unsweetened cocoa powder, a pinch of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder. Add them directly into your microwave-safe mug.
  2. Mix the dry ingredients thoroughly. Stir with a spoon or small whisk until the cocoa, sugar, flour, salt, and baking powder are evenly combined.
  3. Add wet ingredients. Pour in 3 tablespoons (45 ml) of milk, 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of vegetable oil, and 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir gently but completely, scraping the bottom and edges so everything is well blended.
  4. Optional add-ins: If desired, sprinkle in a tablespoon of chocolate chips or chopped nuts and fold them into the batter.
  5. Microwave the mug brownie. Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 1 minute 10 seconds to 1 minute 30 seconds (70-90 seconds). Start checking at 1 minute 10 seconds. The brownie should look set around the edges but still slightly soft and fudgy in the center.
  6. Let it rest for 1-2 minutes to allow residual heat to finish cooking and firm up the brownie.
  7. Top with a scoop of ice cream. Add a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream or your favorite flavor on top to create a warm-and-cold dessert experience.
  8. Enjoy immediately. Grab a spoon and savor the gooey, rich goodness straight from the mug.

Notes

Use fresh cocoa powder for best flavor. Adjust microwave time based on wattage to avoid overcooking. Let brownie rest after microwaving for fudgy texture. Optional add-ins like chocolate chips or nuts add texture. For gluten-free, substitute almond or gluten-free flour. For vegan, use plant-based milk, coconut oil, and dairy-free ice cream.
