Step 3

Grease your microwave-safe mug or ramekins with a small amount of cooking oil or fat.

Use something that doesn’t have a strong taste of it’s own, e.g. butter, avocado oil or coconut oil instead of something like olive oil.

Your mug should be at least double the size of the mixed ingredients.

Step 4

Add your mug brownie batter into your mug or ramekins.

Step 5 – Microwave instructions

Microwave for about 1-3 minutes.
(The cooking time in your microwave may vary heavily depending on what settings you’re using.)

A broad rule of thumb: approx. 1 minute at 1200 watt and more like 2-3 minutes at <600 watt.

You can test if your mug brownie is done with the “toothpick test”: prick the center of your mug brownie with a toothpick – if it comes out clean and without any dough on it, it’s done!

Step 5 – Oven instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F/180°C.

Bake your mug brownie for about 10-15 minutes in your preheated oven.
