- Hey, I'm John Kanell.
And today on Preppy Kitchen we're making a brownie in a mug,
so let's get started.
To make this easy recipe you'll need cocoa powder,
all purpose flour, sugar, milk, salt, some veggie oil,
vanilla, chocolate chips, and a mug.
To get started we're mixing everything in a 10 to 12 ounce
microwave safe mug.
This is a microwave recipe.
There is no oven involved
and the whole thing comes together in about five minutes.
If you're taking your time.
Grab a tablespoon,
that's the only measuring cup you're using.
And we're gonna add three tablespoons of flour
right into our mug. (gentle music)
Three tablespoons of granulated sugar.
(gentle music)
This recipe comes by popular request.
A lot of you have asked for really simple microwave recipes
and there's also no eggs in here too.
Alright, three tablespoons of cocoa powder.
This recipe is really simple.
So you can basically memorize it
in case you want a midnight snack.
(gentle music)
Our last dry ingredient is a generous pinch of salt.
It's gonna wake the flavors up.
Now get a fork or a little tiny mini whisk if you have one
and just carefully mix this right in the mug.
Try and get on the bottom in the corner
just so that there's no flour lurking around.
Gotta tell you this recipe's pretty dangerous
because it's so fast, so easy and delicious.
Oh my gosh.
It's really great for like a late night craving
or if you just like want a treat.
That's nice and mixed up.
Now it's time for the wet ingredients.
We want three tablespoons of milk.
If you're off dairy, you could totally use almond
or oat milk or whatever you like.
(gentle music)
If you have some extra coffee hanging around
you could sub in a tablespoon of coffee
and that'll amp up the chocolate flavor.
My only non-three is two and a half tablespoons veggie oil.
(gentle music)
Now we're adding a little bit of vanilla,
like a quarter teaspoon or so. (gentle music)
And we're gonna carefully mix this together.
That cocoa powder loves like the jump right out
of anything it's in.
Just stirring it up until you don't see any pockets of flour
or cocoa powder hanging around.
If you have any other simple recipes requests
you can let me know in the comments.
I'm all ears.
Alright.
What would a brownie be without chocolate chips?
So we're adding about two tablespoons of chocolate chips.
Right in.
Give that a mix just to combine.
Right now you could add anything you love in here.
It could be sprinkles, some nuts,
even a little bit of peanut butter swirled in.
Go ahead and top with a couple more chocolate chips
just to make it look nice and pretty.
They're gonna be very melty and shiny.
And the very final step which is semi optional
is to wipe down the mug.
This is gonna burn, whatever's on the edge,
and you don't wanna burnt chocolate situation.
You want nice and delicious.
So just get a wet paper towel.
A damp.
Just get a damp paper towel and wipe the edge.
This is ready to go into the microwave.
Everyone's microwave is different though.
I'm adding this in for one minute on high.
It should have risen up
and you'll see some moist fudgy parts in the middle.
If it looks raw, give it ten second bursts
until it doesn't look raw anymore.
There you go.
Out of the microwave and looking perfect.
Just top it with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream
and you ready to enjoy. (gentle music)
Look at that.
Okay. (gentle music)
I really needed that.
That's so delicious.
I hope you get a chance to make this recipe.
