Chefadora AI has the answer - timers, swaps, step-by-step help.
In a microwave-safe mug, combine flour, brown sugar, cocoa powder, salt, baking powder, and instant coffee (if using). Stir well until no clumps remain.
Mix in full-fat milk, vanilla essence, oil, melted butter, and condensed milk. Stir until you get a smooth, thick, flowing batter.
Fold in or sprinkle chocolate chips.
Drop Nutella or peanut butter into the center and lightly cover with batter (if using).
Microwave on high for 1 minute.
Check texture. If needed, microwave for 15 seconds more.
Let it sit for 30–60 seconds to finish setting.
Top with extra chocolate chips, drizzle with chocolate sauce, or add a scoop of ice cream before serving.
Use a wide mug to prevent overflow.
Don’t over-mix once liquids are added.
Slightly under-microwaving gives a gooey brownie center.
For less sweetness, skip condensed milk or reduce chocolate chips.
Can I use a different type of milk?
Yes, you can use plant-based milk like almond or oat milk, but the texture may vary slightly.
What if I don’t have condensed milk?
You can skip it or replace it with an additional 1 tsp of sugar for sweetness.
How do I prevent the brownie from overflowing?
Use a wide mug with enough room for the batter to rise during microwaving.
Can I make this recipe vegan?
Yes, replace full-fat milk with plant-based milk, butter with vegan butter, and condensed milk with a vegan alternative.
What wattage microwave is this recipe based on?
This recipe is based on an 1100W microwave. Adjust cooking time slightly for lower or higher wattage.
