4. Microwave the Brownie:
- Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 60-90 seconds. Cooking times may vary depending on the power of your microwave (the brownie should be set but still moist on top, not dry).
- Start checking at the 60-second mark and continue microwaving in 10-second intervals if needed.
5. Cool and Enjoy:
- Allow the brownie to cool for a minute or two before indulging, as it will be extremely hot.
- Enjoy your decadent double chocolate mug brownie straight from the mug with a spoon, or add a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat!

Decadent double chocolate mug brownie FAQ:

What pan size should I use for this mug brownie?

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.

How long do I microwave the mug brownie?

Microwave the brownie on high for 60-90 seconds. Start checking at the 60-second mark and continue microwaving in 10-second intervals until it's set but still moist on top.

Can I substitute ingredients in this brownie recipe?

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.

How do I know when the brownie is done?

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.

What is the best way to store leftovers?

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.
