Recipe - Brownie in a Mug

Wasn’t sure if I believed AGFG when I saw a brownie in a mug? But … I tried and I’d do it again! Not for a dinner party out to impress but if I needed a sweet (and quick treat) for comfort, this does hit the spot!

Serves 1

INGREDIENTS

·       1/4 cup flour

·       1/4 cup sugar

·       2 tbsp. cocoa (natural, unsweetened)

·       Pinch of salt

·       Tiny pinch of cinnamon

·       1/4 cup water

·       2 tbsp. canola oil or vegetable oil (I actually used coconut oil)

·       1 to 2 drops vanilla extract

·       1 small scoop of ice cream or 1 - 2 tsps. heavy whipping cream to serve.

METHOD

·       Stir flour, sugar, cocoa, salt and cinnamon in a microwave safe mug. Use a fork to break up any clumps.

·       Add oil, water, vanilla and stir until the mixture is smooth and there are no lumps.

·       Place mug in microwave and heat on high until it is cooked through. This could take between 1 - 2 minutes depending on the wattage of your microwave.

·       HINT - start with 60 second and increase until done.

·       When cooked, the brownie should be moist not dry.

·       Let cool and serve with ice cream or whipping cream.
