Microwave brownie recipe
I think I’m correct in assuming everyone loves brownies. If I’m wrong and you’re one of the very few who are not particularly crazy about brownies, I apologize. But seriously, you don’t know what you’re missing. Just saying.
Brownies recipes are some of the quickest and easiest, it really is no rocket science in tossing a couple of ingredients together and then bake for a few minutes. They’re a safer way to satisfy a sweet tooth, at least the way I make them, with less sugar. And if paired with the right fruit that complements the cocoa flavor, such as berries, any berry, you could say you scored the healthy factor too.
And when brownies come in a cup, brownie crazies as myself jump for joy. Literally! It only takes approximately 3 minutes to make a microwave brownie recipe (it took way longer to write this post; not fair!) and you get to make just as much or as little as you want to.
Do you feel like having just a brownie? No need to waste time with more. Also if you make more you might end up eating more than just one so forget about any other brownie recipe, this microwave brownie recipe is exactly what you need.
Microwave brownie recipe
- 1/4 cup self-raising flour
- 2 tbsp caster sugar (finely granulated sugar)
- 2 tbsp cocoa
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 3 tbsp water
- 1/2 tsp icing sugar (to sprinkle on top and decorate)
- ice cream (optional, but why wouldn't you, really?)
- Add flour to the cup, then sugar, cocoa, oil and water
- Mix all together until you have a smooth mixture. Depending on your cup' size you may need to add a bit more water. You'll need to have a soft, creamy texture. If the composition is too hard, add more water, bit by bit.
- Place into the microwave on high for 1 min 40 seconds. You may need to experience with that too as microwaves have different settings
- Dust with a little icing sugar
- Add a scoop of ice cream (optional; again, why wouldn't you?)
You are killing me with all this brownie goodness….in a cup at that! I have always enjoyed eating out of cups….don’t know why. These look fantastic!
Hi! I really would like to try this recipe. But I am confused by 2 things.
1) What does this measurement mean? – – “2 tbsp cup caster sugar”
2) Please excuse me if this is a dumb ques. But what is caster sugar?
thnx! Elizabeth
Hi Elizabeth. I’m so sorry, I meant 2 tablespoons, not cups. Thanks for pointing that out, I’ll adjust the recipe right now. Caster sugar is a type of very finely granulated sugar but in my experience, any sugar works if mixed really well with all ingredients. Powdered/icing sugar works fine too.
I love this! So so easy and perfect when you need a cake fix in the afternoon!
Yum, these look absolutely delicious!
This is so easy it going to be dangerous to my diet! pinned!
Now I won’t be able to stop making brownies especially when it’s this quick!! It looks delicious!
This could be a dangerous recipe to have, LOL. Looks amazing!
One for me to add to my Try list, I played with a few microwave cake recipes but not quite right, this one looks good!
