Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 pinch salt
• ¼ cup white sugar
• 3 tablespoons milk
• ¼ cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, optional

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Whisk together sugar, flour, cocoa powder, cinnamon, and salt in a microwave-safe mug.

Step 2

Add milk, melted butter, and vanilla and mix well with a spatula, making sure the dry ingredients at the bottom get incorporated.

Step 3

Microwave on high for 1 minute. Brownie will still be moist in the middle. If brownie appears too fudgy, microwave for another 30 seconds until desired consistency is reached. Do not microwave for more than 2 minutes total. The longer you cook it, the more cake-like the brownie becomes.

Step 4

Cool for 5 minutes before eating, if you can wait that long!
