Calories: 672kcal
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsps unsalted butter
- 2 Tbsps granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar, packed
- ¼ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- pinch of salt
- 1 large egg yolk
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 Tbsps chocolate chips
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a microwave safe mug for around 10-20 seconds.
- Mix in the sugars, vanilla and salt with the melted butter. Stir in the egg yolk until fully combined.
- Add in the flour and cocoa powder, and mix until fully incorporated. The batter should be thick. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Place in the microwave, and microwave for around 45 seconds.
Notes
- Allow the brownie to cool. This allows the texture to firm up more, as the brownie continues cooking after taking it out of the microwave.
- Swap out the chocolate chips. Use your favorite mix-ins! My favorite swap is either M&Ms or chopped walnuts.
- Make sure you use a standard coffee mug. A standard 10-12 oz mug works best. Avoid using bowls or wide bottomed coffee mugs, since the batter will spread out thin on the bottom and get overcooked.
- Adjust the sweetness. Feel free to slightly reduce the sugar if you prefer a less sweet brownie, especially since the chocolate chips add extra sweetness.
