26020 Microwave Brownie in a Mug (single serving) 3 minutes 2 minutes 1 brownie Sat Jun 06 06:42:07 -0700 2009 Sat Jun 06 06:42:07 -0700 2009 Easy American Hack http://www.chow.com/recipes/26020 Sat, 06 Jun 2009 13:42:07 GMT This was a quick and easy brownie recipe to start with (thus a great chocolate fix) but I found it a little heavy. I reduced the sugar and flour a bit. So far I’ve made it for all the chocolate lovers I know and they’ve adored it—mostly because it’s so fast and most people have all the ingredients all the time.

Serving suggestion: with vanilla ice cream or chilled cream. Keep topping up with cream as you get to the bottom. I haven’t tried it with chocolate or caramel sauce and nuts but they may be good. Sometimes when I’m really full, I share it with a loved one.

  • In a 12 oz coffee mug, mix water, oil, salt, vanilla and coffee, if using. Whisk well.
  • Add cocoa powder, whisk well. Add sugar, whisk well. Add flour, whisk well.
  • Microwave for 60-75 seconds: 60 seconds for a molten bottom, 75 for uniformly done. I normally choose 60.
  • Enjoy with a spoon and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Careful, brownie will be hot.
