Tips For Making Mug Brownies
Stir The Mixture Well
Make sure that there is no flour at the bottom of your mug that is unmixed. This would make the brownie less enjoyable.
Don't Over Bake The Brownie
Keep checking on the brownie while it is in the microwave. Every microwave is different and you don't want it to dry out.
A slightly undercooked mug brownie will continue to cook at room temperature so don't worry if it looks slightly wet on top.
Making This Recipe Oil Free
If you would like to substitute out the oil in this recipe, you can. Use teh equivalent amount of unsweetened apple sauce instead. The mug cake may become slightly more dense if you swap out the oil.
Frequently Asked Questions
Both desserts are simply single serve versions of their larger counterparts. My mug brownie ultimately contains the same ingredients as larger brownies do.
When the brownie has cooked, it may look a little undercooked on top. As the brownie cools, it will continue to cook so don't worry.
How To Store This Mug Brownie
I recommend that you eat this mug cake immediately, once it has cooled down.
