I first heard about this recipe on This Morning (TV show) ages ago, it was quick and seemed very simple so I decided to give it a go. It took me a while to find a decent recipe but I eventually found one and it made a fantastic brownie. This recipe is so quick, easy and very unique, it is great if you want a chocolatey snack or cute little desserts for friends, you should definitely give it a go! (This recipe is by Simply Recipes)
Ingredients
- 50g of self-raising flour
- 70g of sugar
- 2 Tbsp of cocoa powder
- Little pinch of salt
- 60ml of water
- 2 Tbsp of vegetable oil- I wouldn't recommend using any other oils because they may be too strong.
- 2 drops of vanilla extract
Method
Start off by weighing out the flour, sugar and cocoa powder, place them in your microwaveable mug, add a pinch of salt and give it a good stir with a spoon or a fork (making sure all of the ingredients are mixed together).
Add the water, oil and vanilla extract and mix it together until it is smooth with no lumps. My mixture was very thick so I added a bit more water and it quickly became a perfect consistency! Once you have done this, place in the microwave on the highest heat for roughly 1 minute, if you think the brownie needs a bit more time cooking once the 1 minute is up then place back in for another 10-15 seconds. Leave it to cool for a minute and serve either on its own or with vanilla ice cream.
I would definitely recommend this recipe it is fun, quick and extremely easy to make. If there's any recipes you want me to try or review then please leave a comment below!
