So the saying goes, You can't improve on perfection however, I see that as a challenge.
A few years ago, I made my very first brownie in a mug and it took the internet by storm.
It has almost 10 million views online and has almost 2000 5 star reviews on my website.
It has been a few years it needed to be mixed up a little bit.
I've made it bigger, bolder and better.
Now it's time to make it so the first thing you need is a medium sized microwave safe
mug.
These are my Bigger Bolder Baking mugs and these are for sale on my website.
into my mug, I'm going to add in my Plain Flour This is just regular old baking flour.
Next I'm going to add in my brown sugar.
Now here's the thing about the brown sugar brownies love a little bit of brown sugar,
it gives them kind of this caramel tones.
However, I did see some comments saying that the brownie was a little bit too sweet for
them.
So I pulled back a little bit on the brown sugar adding less this time.
Next up we have cocoa powder.
Now I love to talk about cocoa powder.
So make sure that you buy cocoa powder that has been unsweetened because we don't want
any extra sugar in our brownie.
Also when buying cocoa powder.
Just make sure it's good quality because it just makes your brownies so much better.
The last dry ingredients we are going to add a course is my favorite salt.
Salt brings out the flavor of all the other ingredients.
It's really important to know brownie.
And then with my little spork or spoon, just mix your dry ingredients together.
Let's talk wet ingredients.
Here I have some milk now in the old recipe I just had water milk is much better because
it has more flavor.
If you don't drink dairy milk, you can use any kind of a nut milk, soy milk, whatever
you like.
It's totally your preference.
Now next, let's talk oil.
Now listen, I read all your comments, I heard you loud and clear.
Some people found the mug brownie a little bit oily when they mixed it.
So what I did was I reduced the oil and I added in more milk.
So you have enough oil in there to still make a really moist brownie but not too much that's
overpowering.
Next up my favorite vanilla extract.
Now this is a lovely to have.
However, if you don't have meal extract at home, don't worry, you can totally make it
without us.
It just really adds so much more flavor.
And it works really well with the salt in there.
And then last but not least, we are going to add in a few chocolate chips.
So here's a really important tip when it comes to mixing.
You want to be very careful when you're mixing chocolates because it can separate from your
other ingredients.
So you just want to mix this very lightly until the batter is formed, then stop mixing.
This will avoid you having a layer of fat on the top of your brownie.
So there we go.
It's all come together.
It's mixed.
So here's the thing about my new updated brownie in a mug, I made it even bigger than the last
time so you've got an even bigger bolder mug cakes look forward to right now we're going
to get this guy into the microwave.
Okay, so let's talk microwaving.
This is really important to get this right.
You want to microwave your mug brownie for one minutes to start and then check on it
and see if you need a few more seconds.
The thing about it is that these cakes cook really fast.
And if you overcook them, they end up tough and they end up dry and you don't want that.
So it's been a minute.
As you can see it's still a little bit wet on top looks a little bit raw.
So I'm going to pop it back into my microwave, give it another 30 seconds, and we'll check
on it then.
So with regards to the cook time, this is based on my microwave which is 1200 watts.
So check the wattage on your microwave because your timing will vary depending on that.
But I would say the safest thing to do is check it after a minute.
So this is looking good.
It's almost there.
I want to give it a few more seconds.
So just another 15 so check that out.
It's pretty incredible that in less than two minutes, you can cook a brownie in a microwave.
You can tell when it's done because it's firm underneath your finger and there's no more
wet batter on top.
Now I don't know about you but I love a good big scoop of vanilla ice cream with my brownies.
So I'm going to add one on there.
And while it's still warm, dig in.
This is so fudgy This is my kind of brownie new improved, Bigger Bolder than ever.
Absolutely delicious.
So the new and improved recipe is up on my website right now.
Go over there.
