Step 1
Start by mixing together the sugar, flour, cocoa powder, cinnamon, and salt right in a microwave-safe mug. Then, add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla. Stir everything well with a spatula, making sure to scrape the bottom so no dry bits are left. Pop the mug in the microwave on high for about a minute. The brownie will still be a bit gooey in the center—that’s how it’s supposed to be! If it looks too wet for your taste, you can microwave it for another 30 seconds, but try not to go over two minutes total. Keep in mind, the longer it cooks, the more it turns cakey instead of fudgy. Let it cool for a few minutes before digging in—if you can resist that is!
Why you’ll love it
This recipe is perfect for when you want a quick and delicious treat without any fuss. It only takes a few minutes to prepare and cook, making it ideal for satisfying chocolate cravings instantly. Plus, it uses common ingredients you likely already have at home.
How to serve
Enjoy the brownie warm straight from the mug, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate syrup. Adding fresh berries or a sprinkle of powdered sugar can also make it feel extra special.
Storage & leftovers
Since this is a single-serving treat best enjoyed fresh, it is not ideal for long-term storage. If you have leftovers, cover the mug tightly with plastic wrap and keep it in the refrigerator for up to one day. Reheat gently before eating.
