Use a microwave-safe mug with a capacity of at least 8 ounces (240 ml) to allow enough space for the brownie to rise while cooking.

Yes, you can substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend, and you may replace vegetable oil with melted butter or coconut oil. However, the texture may vary slightly.
The brownie should be set but still moist on top. Avoid overcooking, as this can lead to a dry texture. If it looks wet, microwave in 10-second intervals until it firms up.
Mug brownies are best enjoyed immediately. If you have leftovers, cover the mug and refrigerate for up to a day, but they may lose their texture upon reheating.
Cooking Tips:
- Make sure to mix the dry ingredients thoroughly to avoid any lumps in your brownie batter.
- For an even richer chocolate flavor, consider adding a small handful of chocolate chips to the batter before microwaving.
- Microwave times may vary based on the wattage of your microwave. Start with 60 seconds and check the brownie; if needed, continue to cook in 10-second increments until done.
- Let the brownie cool for a minute or two after microwaving, as it will be very hot and needs to set.
- Customize your mug brownie by adding a pinch of instant coffee powder to enhance the chocolate flavor, or sprinkle some nuts on top for added texture.
