Gooey Individual Brownies

Ever wanted to eat the whole pan of brownies? 

You won't feel the need to if you make this individual brownie using your microwave! This recipe for a single brownie will satisfy any chocolate craving. It is so rich, gooey and fudgy that you'll feel stuffed after a few bites. I especially like this recipe because it uses less oil and more chocolate than other "brownie in a mug" recipes you can find online. Best of all, its quick to make! Serve with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream! :)

Ingredients: 

4 tsp (or 1 T + 1 tsp) flour

4 tsp sugar

4 tsp canola oil

4 tsp dark cocoa powder

1 tbsp water or more

a few drops vanilla extract

pinch of salt

pinch baking powder

a few chocolate chips/chunks to mix into the batter

Directions:

1. Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and mix well. Add a little more water if the batter is too thick. Batter should be a little liquidy. 

 2. Evenly pour batter into a small ceramic ramekin or bowl. 

3. Microwave on high for 40 seconds. Let cool for a minute, then eat! You can top the brownie with ice cream, whipped cream, chocolate/caramel sauce, more chocolate chips, etc! :)
