I love this recipe, especially while babysitting younger kids (they love this) and during the hot summers (when it’s unbearable to turn the oven on). It’s quick, easy and clean.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup white sugar
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 pinch ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch salt
- ¼ cup water
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 splash vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Stir flour, sugar, cocoa powder, cinnamon, and salt together in a microwave-safe mug. Stir water, oil, and vanilla extract into flour mixture with a fork until smooth.
Step 2
Microwave until set, 1 to 5 minutes.
Cook’s Notes:
Do not use extra-virgin olive oil in place of vegetable/canola oil. Hot chocolate powder mix works in place of cocoa as well.

I love it! I have tried this recipe many times and if you convert everything to tablespoons (1/4 cup= 4 tablespoons) it only uses three dishes(Mug, Tablespoon, Whisk). Also, it doesn’t mention it in the description, but if you use sugar that isn’t white, this recipe is vegan! I have made this before and I will make it again. I rate FABULOUS out of ten!!! 😀

If you’re a diehard chocolate junkie, and you can’t wait to have a real brownie, then I guess this could be the hit you need for your fix. It tastes a little weird, not rich and wonderful like a real brownie. There is no leavening of any kind, like eggs, so the texture is like anything else you try and “bake” in a microwave: leathery and chewy. I’ll stick to real brownies…..

I love this recipe. It?s great when I need a quick chocolate fix and is super easy and fast. I added some chocolate chips because I wanted even more chocolate and it makes it a little less bitter. I wouldn?t microwave for more than 2 minutes because it starts to smell burnt. 70 seconds was perfect for me. A little gooey still but yummy!

I love microwave mug desserts, and this was just OK. It has too much flour and is really thick. Also, 1/4 cup sugar for 1 serving is a lot of sugar! I used 3 tablespoons, and it was plenty sweet. It cooked nicely in 90 seconds, no wet or dry spots. My favorite recipe is Individual Microwave Brownie on this site– 2 T flour and 2 T sugar, much better for 1 serving.

Quenched my sweet tooth with a homemade brownie that didn’t take an hour to bake and cool and don’t have a batch of brownies tempting me all week. One and done! Used only 2 Tbsp sugar, added about 2 Tbsp semi sweet chocolate chips otherwise as stated. 2 1/2 minutes in microwave, satisfying & delicious!
