One-Minute Microwave Brownie Recipe

Ingredients

• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons unsweetened natural cocoa powder
• 3 tablespoons water
• 2 tablespoons canola or vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons light brown sugar, packed
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt, to taste
• ¼ cup all-purpose flour
• ⅓ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips*
• Ice cream or whipped topping, optional for serving

Instructions

1. Mix Wet Ingredients:

• In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the granulated sugar, cocoa powder, water, oil, light brown sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

1. Add Flour:

• Add the all-purpose flour to the mixture and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

1. Incorporate Chocolate Chips:

• Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

1. Microwave:

• Cook the brownie on high power in the microwave for about 1 minute, or until the center is set to your preference. Microwaves, bowl sizes, and ingredient temperatures can vary, so check the brownie at the 45-second mark. If necessary, continue cooking in 15-second intervals until done.

1. Serve:

• Optionally top with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped topping. Serve immediately for the best warm and gooey texture.

Description and Tips

Tips for Perfect Results:

• Mix Thoroughly: Ensure that the wet ingredients are thoroughly combined before adding the flour to avoid clumps.
• Don’t Overmix: After adding the flour, mix just until combined to keep the brownie tender.
• Monitor Cooking Time: Microwave wattages vary, so start checking at the 45-second mark. The brownie should be set in the center but still moist. Overcooking can lead to a dry texture.
• Serving Suggestions: For an extra special treat, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a swirl of whipped cream on top of the warm brownie.

Enjoy this delicious, speedy dessert whenever you need a quick chocolate fix!
