Brownie in a Mug: 90 Second Easy Dessert Recipe

Here is one of my favorite easy dessert recipes: 90 Second Easy Microwave Brownie in a Mug! This is a delicious treat you can make with minimal effort! You gotta try this single serve brownie!

This microwave mug brownie is made in about 5 minutes (maybe less if you can grab the ingredients fast!) You cook this single serving dessert in just 90 seconds. This is perfect if you have a craving for chocolate, but don’t want to have a whole pan of brownies made just for one craving.

Ingredients needed for your Brownie Mug Cake:

• 3 Tbsp. all purpose flour
• 3 Tbsp. sugar
• 3 Tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
• pinch of salt
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• 3 Tbsp. milk
• 3 Tbsp. vegetable oil
• splash of vanilla extract
• 3 Tbsp. chocolate chips – these help increase the chocolate flavor and give more moisture to the brownie texture
• microwave-safe mug (use a large mug because this makes a big single serving.)

 

Optional: Whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream to go on top after baking.

This can be adapted for dietary restrictions:  If you want a gluten free version, go ahead and substitute gluten-free flour blend for the all-purpose flour. If you need a dairy-free version, use almond milk instead of cow’s milk, and diary-free chocolate chips.

 

How to make the brownie batter for this easy brownie in a mug recipe:

1. Stir together all of the dry ingredients into a coffee mug – flour, sugar, cocoa, salt, and baking soda.

 

2.  Add the wet ingredients – milk, vegetable oil and vanilla. Stir well until smooth. Fold in the chocolate chips.

 

3.  Place in the microwave. Cook time for this chocolate mug cake is just 90 seconds on high power.

 

4.  Top it off with some whip cream (or ice cream) and some berries!

 

 

**The final single serving brownie actually makes quite a large brownie. This could easily be a romantic dessert to share with your significant other.

On the other hand though – if you’ve had a rough day – go ahead and quickly make this all for yourself. It’s the perfect dessert after a stressful day and the need for chocolate is high. If that is the case, I’m sure you could finish it in one sitting. 🙂

 

 I’d love it if you pinned this easy mug brownie recipe. Then you’ll remember this sweet tooth recipe for a galentine’s day recipe, date night dessert, or when the chocolate cravings strike and you need to curb that craving. This is one of the easiest small batch desserts to make with simple ingredients.

Another thing you can try to add to this delicious brownie is add peanut butter chips, butterscotch chips, or mini m&m’s instead of chocolate chips. You could even just skip the chips and add a peanut butter cup to it instead. Then add a scoop of ice cream on top and you have yourself the perfect easy dessert recipe to hit that sweet spot!
