This vegan mug brownie is a quick and easy treat that you can whip up in under 5 minutes! Perfect for satisfying chocolate cravings without the need to bake a whole batch. Here’s how to make it!

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour)
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
• 2 tablespoons non-dairy milk (such as almond or soy)
• ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt
• 1 tablespoon vegan chocolate chips (optional, for extra fudginess)

Instructions

1. Mix Dry Ingredients:
   • In a microwave-safe mug, combine the cocoa powder, flour, sugar, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
2. Add Wet Ingredients:
   • Add the vegetable oil, non-dairy milk, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until you have a smooth batter. Be sure to scrape down the sides of the mug to incorporate all dry ingredients.
3. Fold in Chocolate Chips:
   • If using, fold in the vegan chocolate chips for added richness.
4. Microwave:
   • Microwave the mug for about 40–60 seconds. Start checking at 40 seconds; the brownie should look slightly undercooked on top but will firm up as it cools.
5. Cool and Enjoy:
   • Let it cool for a couple of minutes before digging in. You can top it with dairy-free ice cream or nut butter if desired.

Tips for Success

• Microwave Variations: Cooking time may vary depending on your microwave wattage, so adjust accordingly.
• Customization: Feel free to add nuts, dried fruit, or different types of chocolate chips for variety.
• Storage: This recipe makes a single serving; it’s best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a day if needed.

This vegan mug brownie is not only delicious but also incredibly convenient for those late-night cravings! Enjoy your quick and fudgy treat!
