I couldn't decide on a title as you can tell. I was going to use some sort of hashtag there but as I typed it every part of me was just internally throwing up. So I didn't. Anyway, this weekend an atrocity took place. One I'm sure many a common person has experienced. I opened our freezer, the cold air wafting from the assorted pizzas and freezer packs that lie about the icy box, and the one thing absent, was the ice cream. There may have been tears, there may have been pouting. But I did what I have been trained to do as a proud member of a internet dependent generation, I went to Google. I can't remember clearly but I think the search bar read "yummy fast dessert in a cup". There it was. Something that seemed moderately delicious and easy enough to make in under ten minutes. I was mildly satisfied and went about mixing and microwaving, adding a few of my own touches. But the result was more than I had expected. It was warm, rich, and gooey. These "Mug Brownies" are my go-to quick dessert, they only take about 6 minutes to make, and here's the recipe:
Brownie in a Mug
1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup sugar
2 tbsp cocoa (unsweetened)
pinch of salt
pinch of cinnamon (optional)
2 tbsp canola oil/veggie oil
1/4 cup water
1/4 tsp vanilla
Ice cream or whipped cream for topping
Stir together flour, sugar, cocoa, salt, and cinnamon in a microwavable mug, make sure to break up any clumps. Then mix in the oil, water and vanilla and stir until smooth. Place in microwave and heat on high for about 2 minutes (more or less depending on the level of goo you desire) or until cooked through. Let cool for a minute and add a scoop of ice cream or a bit of cream to the top.,
***pretty rich so splitting recipe in two different mugs is a good idea for those less chocolate inclined***
