This 1 minute microwave chocolate brownie in a mug is the perfect quick and easy dessert for instant chocolate cravings. It delivers a rich, fudgy brownie that’s warm and gooey in just 60 seconds with minimal ingredients and cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 4 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 4 tbsp sugar
  • Pinch of salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp melted butter or oil
  • 3 tbsp milk
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract

Optional Add-ins

  • 1 tbsp chocolate chips
  • Handful of chopped walnuts or pecans
  • Dollop of peanut butter

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In your favorite microwave-safe mug, combine the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, and pinch of salt. Stir until well blended to create an even chocolate base.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the melted butter or oil, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until smooth, ensuring there are no dry lumps left.
  3. Add Chocolate Chips (Optional): Sprinkle in chocolate chips or any other desired add-ins like nuts or peanut butter, folding them gently into the batter for an even distribution.
  4. Microwave the Brownie: Place the mug in the microwave and heat on high for about one minute. Cooking times may vary slightly depending on your microwave’s wattage, so watch for a set but moist center.
  5. Cool Slightly and Enjoy: Let the brownie sit for a minute to firm up just enough for enjoyable texture before digging in with a spoon or fork.

Notes

  • Use a microwave-safe mug large enough to prevent overflow as the brownie rises.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep a tender crumb.
  • Microwave in intervals, starting with 45 seconds and adding 10-second bursts if needed to avoid dryness.
  • Use fresh, good-quality cocoa powder for best flavor.
  • Adjust sugar to suit your sweetness preference, especially when adding chocolate chips or other mix-ins.
