Now who doesn't totally love brownies! Well if you don't then something MUST be wrong with you!!!! {he he he} With this recipe, you can have brownies anytime you like and only have the spoon and mug to clean when you're done! Without further adieu here's your recipe for 5 Minute Mug Brownies!
Ingredients
- 6 oz Coffee Cup (Microwave Proof)
- 2 Tbs Self Rising Flour
- 1 Tbs Unsweetened Baking Cocoa
- 1 Tbs Granulated Sugar
- 1 tsp Vegetable Shortening
- 3 Tbs Warm Water
Directions Mix all dry ingredients in mug. Cut in teaspoon of shortening. Mix warm water and let rest for a few seconds and stir again. Nuke 1 minute. Brownies are moist and done. If in doubt use the toothpick method but over cooking will create rubbery brownies instead of soft moist brownies.
Jenn's Tips: The combination of warm water and letting the batter rest allows the flour to thoroughly dissolve into a smoother batter. I didn't let my batter sit long enough which is why there's a few white dots in my brownies pictured. You can try substituting Vegetable Oil for shortening but, my vegetable oil version resulted in a rubbery brownie and the chocolate wasn't as rich as with the recipe using shortening.
