Recipe(tried): Microwave Chocolate Mug Brownie

MICROWAVE CHOCOLATE MUG BROWNIE

This makes a delicious brownie for one in about a minute. I used a 1500 watt microwave. 60 seconds makes a molten center brownie. 75 seconds make a uniformly done brownie. Careful not to overcook.

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons water
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 dash salt
4 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour

In a 12 oz coffee mug, add water, oil and vanilla. Whisk well. Add cocoa powder, whisk well. Add sugar, whisk well. Add flour, whisk well.

Microwave for 60 to 90 seconds. Center should be slightly molten. Careful not to overcook.

Enjoy with a spoon. Careful brownie will be hot.
