Notes

  • Don't overcook your mug brownie as it might get dry and have a rubbery texture.
  • You might need to try this recipe a couple of times as microwaves are different. That also means you're going to have more than one chocolate mug brownie!
  • Top the chocolate brownie with some whipped cream or ice cream right before serving.
  • You can also make the brownie batter in a separate bowl and then pour it into the mug or a ramekin.
  • It's possible to use vegetable oil instead of melted butter in this brownie recipe. Make sure you're using neutral flavored oil such as vegetable oil or canola oil.
