A quick and easy single-serve mug brownie with a rich, fudgy texture and a gooey molten chocolate center, perfect for solo indulgence in under 10 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 tablespoons (30 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 4 tablespoons (50 grams) granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons (12 grams) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • A pinch of salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3 tablespoons (45 ml) milk, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) vegetable oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • One small square or chunk (10-15 grams) semi-sweet or dark chocolate for molten center

Instructions

  1. In a microwave-safe mug or small bowl, mix 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 4 tablespoons granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, a pinch of salt, and 1/8 teaspoon baking powder until well blended.
  2. Stir in 3 tablespoons milk, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and lump-free.
  3. Gently press one small square (10-15 grams) of semi-sweet chocolate into the center of the batter without mixing it in.
  4. Microwave on high for 40-50 seconds, starting with 40 seconds and adding 5-second increments if needed, until edges are set but center remains soft and gooey.
  5. Let the mug brownie sit for about 1 minute to allow the molten center to thicken slightly before enjoying.

Notes

Use a mug at least 8 ounces (240 ml) to avoid overflow. Do not overcook to keep the molten center gooey. For a richer flavor, substitute vegetable oil with melted butter. For gluten-free, swap flour with almond flour or gluten-free blend. Vegan option: use plant-based milk, coconut oil, and dairy-free chocolate. Cover mug loosely with a microwave-safe plate to prevent drying. Stir batter gently after adding chocolate chunk to preserve molten center.
