"Chocolate brownie in a mug"



I was looking for a comfort food recipe that wouldn't include an oven. So
this is what I found. I modified it a little.
WARNING! Very simple and addictive!!! 



Ingredients

  • 4 tbsp flour
  • 4 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder (unsweetened)
  • small pinch of salt
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 2 tbsp melted butter







Method:

  1. Put flour, sugar , cocoa powder and salt in a cup or a ramekin and mix well.
  2. Add milk and butter and stir everything together.
  3. Put the cup in the microwave and microwave on a high for 1 minute. Check it! It should be cooked on top but still moist inside. If it's still not ready, pop it back in and microwave for another 30 sec. and so on.  The cooking time shouldn't exceed 2 min. (UNLESS you are microwaving a bunch of cups at the same time. Then it will take longer to cook!)

  4. Serve immediately with vanilla ice cream/whipped cream and salted peanuts (no I'm not crazy!) or eat it just as it is!



Review: I chose to modify the original recipe (which was calling for water and oil instead of butter and milk) because this way the brownie comes out smoother and doesn't get rock hard as it cools!

Now the taste...oh that taste!! It was heaven!
And although it has a lot of sugar in it, it's not too sweet at all! Just the right balance between tartness of the cocoa and sweetness of the sugar.
