Brownie in a Mug

Brownie In a Mug

Tried a Mug Brownie recipe yesterday. It didn't really work. It was 2 Tbs oil, 2Tbs Chocolate powder, 4 Tbs Sugar, 4 Tbs Flour, splash of water/milk, Vanilla, dash of salt. 

Not at all convinced.

Tried my own today and its roughly as follows.....
2 Tbs of butter/stork/marge/coconut fat (a "hard" fat, not liquid, slightly softened)
2 Tbs of light brown unrefined soft caster sugar
- Cream these two together in the mug with a big spoon
1 tsp Vanilla
Pinch of Salt
2 Tbs Cocoa Powder 

- Mix everything so far into a paste
Add and alternate ....
2-4 Tbs of Soya Milk (or milk) + 1 Tbs liquid fat (coconut oil, vegetable oil etc)

With 3-4 Heaped Tbs of Self-raising flour and half a tsp of Baking Powder

The mug should be half full and it should be the consistency of a good cake batter/brownie batter.

Microwave for 60+ seconds (mine took 60 + a further 25 after looking) and it rose to the top of the mug. This will depend on the size/proportion of your mug.


Hmm, not exactly scientific.
