Yes, that’s right. I created a brownie mug cake that takes only one minute to make in the microwave. I have to confess, I’m pretty thrilled. This is my favorite mug cake creation yet. And it is still super easy to make.
It’s super chocolatey like a brownie should be. This is more like the cake-type brownies rather than the chewy brownies, but it’s still so good. When it first came out of the oven, the brownie was quite fluffy, like a really good chocolate cake. After a minute or so, the batter turns denser, much more like a brownie because of the minimal amount of flour.
I made two, offered one to the FH. At first he refused. He’s gotten kind of sick of my mug cake creations. I insisted he take a bite and he didn’t regret it. He loved it and kept the brownie for himself.
Because brownies are denser, these don’t rise nearly as much and you don’t need an oversized mug unless you want to double the quantity. A regular mug will do.
There’s one extra step required to create these cakes, but it’s still super easy and clean up is still minimal.
One minute Brownie mug cake

This webpage IS SO OVERLOADED WITH ADS it is difficult for my computer and I have a top notch laptop…urrr…. However, this recipe was the best I have found so far!! LOVE IT~
what web browser are you using? i dont have a top notch laptop and i dont have issues with it loading any slower than other blog sites.
Seeing as I made this at 2 am, with nobody to share it with (Bummer…NOT!), I used a bowl for the double serving ( took 2min instead of 1 no biggie) and having no semisweet chocolate (not a fan of semisweet chocolate) I used a regular milk chocolate bar i had, kept everything else the same and it turned out AMAZING!!!
So glad you enjoyed this! I think it’s much better for one person than having to share!
Can I use brown sugar and mix it with the white?
I recommend making the recipe as is and then you can try diff versions and see how it compares. brown sugar will change the texture of the brownie.
Lovely basic recipe it supresses my midnight snack craving. I added .5 oz more chocolate than the recipe but I figured it would be harmless. I’m not sure if I didn’t cook it long enough or it was the extra chocolate but I think next time I’ll add a little more flour and maybe some vanilla.
Adding more melted chocolate to the recipe would require you to adjust the flour as well.
Sitting here with a sweet tooth, searching for something with minimal ingredients and happened upon this. I’ve never made a mug cake, or brownie. Such a pleasant surprise, this was! Near the bottom, it’s just like a lava cake. Thanks Kirbie 🙂
Yay, so glad you enjoyed this!
loved this recipe! made it at home in only 5 minutes! the texture was a little spongy, but i think that was only because i added too much egg to my mug. other than that, tasty and easy!

adding too much egg would make the texture more spongy. But I’m glad you liked it!
This recipe is sooooo awesome.
I made the brownie and it tastes so good.
I love it.
Thank you for such a wonderful recipe
I’m so glad you loved it. It’s one of my favorites!
Literally all the perfect quality of a brownie done in less than a quarter of the time it would take to make brownies from the box. Plus, i’m not stuck with a whole batch justin waiting to be eaten day by day. Soft, chewy, and chocolatey.. so yummy. i wish i came across your website when i was pregnant because your recipes would’ve been my go-tos!!!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! It’s one of my favorites!
It is good love it only thing can you make it like less sugar

Oh Yeah Baby! Delicious!
I’m glad you liked it!
Soooooo good!
I’m so glad you liked it!
Hi! I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong, I made the recipe, I put everything in 1 mug (a bigger one) and then put it in the microwave for 2 mins. It came out really wet and sticky. Do I leave it in for longer? Bacause last time I did that, it came out all rubbery. 🙁
This recipe is designed for 2 individual cakes. You should divide the batter into two mugs as stated in the instructions and cook each separately. Adding them all into one will make the batter too dense when it is fully cooked.
Definitely the best mug brownie I’ve made! Is it possible to make this without self-raising flour? That’s what I’ve been using.
the recipe can be made with ap flour.
loved this recipe!! delicious, easy and overall just simply amazing! 100 % would recomend.
I’m so happy you liked it!
This was the best chocolate mug brownie I’ve ever made!!!
I’m so glad you enjoyed!
I love this recipe! It’s so easy and I’ve made it so many times. I clean while it’s microwaving then I eat it! It’s absolutely delicious, it is hard to clean the mug after but totally worth it.
I’m so glad you enjoyed!
OMG!!!!!Never using Coca powder in mug cakes again .It was so delicious!!!This was my first time making anything from this website and I already LOVE it!!!! ??
