Brownie in a Mug

Brownie in a Mug is for those midnight cravings or when you need the pick me up! Made in under 5 minutes in a microwave, this is perfect for summer evenings when it’s too hot to turn on the oven.

More brownie recipes are spinach brownies, amaranth brownies, orange zest brownie.

I made Brownie in Microwave long time back during the initial days of blogging, it was an average recipe and since then I never attempted another because I felt I didn’t have the right mug for it.

After years of blogging and experimenting, I have stopped fearing failure. Though there is still one dish which I am very, very scared to try but will surely give it a shot soon and then will tell you about it.

Even for this recipe, I made 2 attempts before I got it right. In the first attempt, I used only 2 tablespoons of water, which I felt was too little, so the brownie was dry and still had portions of flour peeking out. I also used a deeper mug probably I unconsciously thought that it will need space to rise.

In the second attempt, I increased the water by 1 tablespoon and used a broad mouth and shallow coffee mug. And the result was bang-on!

This brownie in a mug is perfect for that late night craving or when you don’t want to spend too much time in the kitchen. In just about 2 minutes, you are ready with your dessert. Hitting all the right notes – moist, chocolatey and small portion for self-indulgence!

You can even half the recipe to reduce the portion size.
