I may not believe in modern love, but I must confess that I\u2019ve become a convert to the microwavable brownie in a coffee mug, a.k.a. All the Single Brownies. I\u2019ve tried this ultra-internet recipe several different ways and am still experimenting to figure out what works the very best, so use the following as a template and go in with the assumption that you\u2019ll need several rounds of (delicious) experimentation.<\/p>\n
I made the batter in a separate bowl and then scraped it into the mug. Many recipes say you can mix it all in the mug itself for easier cleanup, but I\u2019m not sure how easy it would be to whisk\/stir into smoothness.<\/p>\n
After you add each ingredient, whisk or just stir vigorously until the new thing is smoothly incorporated into the mixture. You\u2019ll know when it comes together. Makes one brownie, to be shared with your cat.<\/p>\n
* like two-ish tsps vegetable oil<\/p>\n
* same amount water (seriously, it doesn\u2019t really matter)<\/p>\n
* tsp? 1\/2-tsp? vanilla extract<\/p>\n
* four-ish tbsps sugar<\/p>\n
* same amount cocoa<\/p>\n
* one large egg<\/p>\n
* two-ish tbsps all-purpose flour<\/p>\n
* some salt<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve tried adding cinnamon, but this recipe creates a brownie so rich and fudgey that you really can\u2019t taste even a generous amount of cinnamon at all.<\/p>\n
Anyway, get all that completely stirred together so it is thick and goopy. Scrape it into your mug and microwave on high for, probably, a minute.<\/p>\n
This last bit is the part I still haven\u2019t completely cracked. It\u2019s difficult to keep the brownie from overcooking on the bottom. It doesn\u2019t burn, but it gets more crumbly than I\u2019d prefer. The best one I\u2019ve made so far was cakey and crumbly on the bottom half, while the top half was this amazing rich fudge thing, like super-thick hot frosting. You do need the cakey part\u2013even I am not capable of desiring an entire coffee mug of frosting\u2013but the top part is just sublime.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
