This mug brownie mixes up in one bowl and cooks in the microwave, delivering a dense, fudgy center without turning on the oven. A drizzle of salted caramel sauce on top adds a sweet-salty finish that makes it feel like a proper dessert. It's a quick fix for a late-night chocolate craving or a single-serving treat.

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon mini chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons salted caramel sauce
  • 1 pinch flaky sea salt, for topping

Method

  1. In a microwave-safe mug, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until no lumps remain.

  2. Add the vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract, and stir until a smooth, thick batter forms with no dry streaks.

  3. Fold in the mini chocolate chips.

  4. Microwave the mug on high for 60 to 70 seconds, until the brownie has puffed and the center looks just set but still soft.

  5. Let the mug brownie cool for 2 minutes, as it will continue to firm up slightly.

  6. Drizzle the salted caramel sauce over the top and finish with a pinch of flaky sea salt before serving.
