Do you ever have moments where you crave a sweet treat but you know if you make a whole batch, you will just sit down with the entire plate? Oh, is that just me? When I make brownies, I tend to not be able to stop at just one. Which makes this brownie in a mug perfect for me!
Did you know you could make a single serving brownie in the microwave? That's right, no baking involved!
These brownies are a little different than the baked brownies, primarily because they are made without eggs, but they are a whole lot of delicious! I made these for my husband and I one night in an attempt to avoid baking, and also avoid eating the entire pan of brownies.
We were both surprised with how good they tasted. I added chocolate chips to ours too, which gave it a nice extra burst of chocolate goodness, then I added some caramel too.
If you really want to take them out of the park, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top, then drizzle with chocolate to make a brownie sundae.
I'm making myself crave one now. That's the downside of a brownie in a mug, they are easy to make whenever you get a hankering for one. So, I may, in fact, eat just as much as I would with a plate of brownies too. Oh, what a dilemma.
This brownie in a mug is a great dessert for the kids too. They can each get their own mug and top it with the toppings they prefer so that way you can appease all the picky eaters in your household. I feel like I have the pickiest eaters around, so anything that helps conquer that battle is golden.
Ready for dessert? Eat up!
