Brownie in a Mug Recipe.




So I do realise that these are everywhere on the internet but I searched through tons of recipes and not really liking any so I kind of invented my own so if you try it out I hope you like it.

Ingredients

  • 3 Tablespoons of flour,
  • 2 Tablespoons of Sugar,
  • 2 Tablespoons of instant hot chocolate (I prefer Cadbury but any works fine),
  • 1 Tablespoon of Cocoa powder,
  • 3 Tablespoons of water,
  • 3 Tablespoons of melted butter (you could use oil as well, I just prefer butter. You could also use less or more, typically I just melt two tablespoons of butter and however much is melted - as long as its not over 3 Tablespoons - I will use)
So before I tell you the method I'm going to explain why I use instant hot chocolate instead of just cocoa powder. I like my brownies sweet and the cocoa powder makes it really bitter which I don't like, I could just use more sugar to counter that but I don't want to add too much sugar. If you do like your brownies bitter you could just use 3 Tablespoons of Cocoa powder instead. You could also add extra ingredients like nuts or chocolate chips or vanilla extract, honestly its to your preference, whatever you like you can put in, this recipe is just what I particularly like but everyone is different :)

Method

  1. First put all of the dry ingredients into a mug (after measuring them) and mix them together,
  2. Melt your butter (if using oil obviously skip this step),
  3. Add in the water and butter/oil and mix until you get this consistency,
  4. Put in the microwave for 1 minute (depending on your microwave power you might need less or more time, this picture is how I enjoy the texture of the brownie but you could leave it in longer to make it more crumbly or less to make it more moist), 
  5. Finally, enjoy your brownie :)
