  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a microwave-safe mug, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
  • Add the vegetable oil, water, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and there are no lumps.

Cooking

  • Microwave on high for 1 minute, keeping an eye on it to ensure it doesn't overflow.
  • Let it cool for a minute before enjoying your fudgy brownie straight from the mug.

Notes

For a keto version, try a sugar substitute and almond flour. You can also experiment with add-ins like cinnamon, peanut butter, or chocolate chips. If too dry, reduce microwave time; if too gooey, add seconds as needed.
