Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 6 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 whole Large egg
- 6 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 pinch Salt
- 2 tablespoons Chocolate chips or chunks (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a microwave-safe mug or small bowl, melt the unsalted butter by microwaving it for 20-30 seconds.
Step 2
Stir in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Step 3
Add the egg and mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and all the ingredients are incorporated.
Step 4
Sift in the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 5
If desired, fold in chocolate chips or chunks for extra richness.
Step 6
Smooth the surface of the batter in the mug or bowl, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
Step 7
Microwave on high power for 1 minute 30 seconds to 2 minutes, depending on the wattage of your microwave. Check for doneness by gently touching the surface; it should be set but still soft in the center.
Step 8
Let the brownie cool for 1-2 minutes before enjoying it directly from the mug or transferring it to a plate. Serve as is or with a scoop of ice cream!
