How to Make Fudgy 1-Minute Brownie Mug Cake

Ingredients:

• 1 tbsp salted butter (or use unsalted butter but add a pinch of salt to the recipe)
• 2 tbsp semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
• 1/8 tsp vanilla (optional)
• 2 tbsp flour
• 1 tbsp chocolate chips (optional)

Directions:

1. First, start by melting the butter in a microwave-safe mug. Heat it for about 20 seconds or until fully melted.
2. Add the semi-sweet chocolate chips to the melted butter. Stir until the chips are completely melted. If needed, microwave the mixture for a few more seconds to achieve a smooth consistency.
3. Once the chocolate mix is smooth, add the egg yolk, brown sugar, and vanilla (if using). Stir until everything is well combined.
4. Add the flour to the mug and mix until the flour is fully incorporated. If you wish to include more chocolate chips, gently fold them in at this stage.
5. Cook the brownie in the microwave on high for 45 seconds. Since microwave power levels vary, check if it’s done. You can cook it for an additional 15 seconds if necessary.

How to Serve Fudgy 1-Minute Brownie Mug Cake

Let the brownie cool for a minute after cooking. You can enjoy it right from the mug or transfer it to a plate. For an extra treat, serve it with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on top. It adds a wonderful contrast to the warm, fudgy brownie.

How to Store Fudgy 1-Minute Brownie Mug Cake

If you have leftovers (which is rare with this delicious treat!), let the brownie cool completely. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. To enjoy it again, simply microwave it for a few seconds to warm it back up.

Tips to Make Fudgy 1-Minute Brownie Mug Cake

• Make sure your mug is large enough to allow the brownie to rise without spilling over.
• Experiment with different mix-ins like nuts, caramel, or peanut butter for added flavor.
• Adjust the cooking time based on your microwave’s power settings for the perfect fudgy texture.

Variations

For a healthier twist, swap out the butter for coconut oil and use whole wheat flour. You can also substitute some of the sugar with a sugar alternative if you prefer.

FAQs

1. Can I make it egg-free?
Yes, you can omit the egg yolk. Replace it with 1 tablespoon of unsweetened applesauce for a similar texture.

2. What can I use instead of brown sugar?
You can use granulated sugar or coconut sugar as substitutes. However, using brown sugar adds moisture and a deeper flavor.

3. Can I make this in advance?
This recipe is best enjoyed fresh. However, you can prepare the dry ingredients in advance and store them in a sealed container until you’re ready to make the mug cake.
