Description
Quick chocolate cravings meet their match with this one-minute microwave brownie, a speedy dessert that delivers rich, gooey satisfaction. Rich chocolate indulgence emerges in mere moments, satisfying sweet tooths without complex kitchen skills.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tbsps vegetable oil (or melted butter)
- 2 tbsps water (or milk, for a richer taste)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tbsps unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp chocolate chips (optional, for extra gooeyness)
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Dry Mixture Preparation: Thoroughly blend flour, sugar, cocoa powder, and salt directly in a microwave-safe mug, ensuring even distribution of dry ingredients.
- Liquid Integration: Pour oil, water (or milk), and vanilla extract into the dry mixture, whisking until the batter transforms into a silky, uniform consistency with no visible lumps.
- Optional Chocolate Enhancement: Gently incorporate chocolate chips throughout the batter, creating pockets of melted chocolate goodness.
- Microwave Transformation: Cook the batter in the microwave at full power for 50-60 seconds, watching for subtle signs of doneness – edges should appear set while maintaining a slightly molten center.
- Cooling and Serving: Allow the brownie to rest for 1-2 minutes to prevent potential burns, then elevate the dessert with optional toppings like velvety ice cream, cloud-like whipped cream, or a decadent chocolate sauce drizzle.
Notes
- Use precise liquid measurements to keep the brownie moist, as microwave cooking can quickly dry out baked goods.
- Adjust microwave time by 10-second intervals to achieve desired consistency – less time for gooey center, more for firmer edges.
- Swap water with milk for richer taste, or add a pinch of espresso powder to intensify chocolate depth.
- Replace regular flour with gluten-free flour blend for celiac-friendly version, ensuring same smooth mixing technique.
