One of the most popular recipes I ever posted was for this brownie in a mug recipe and I would like to share it for all of those looking for one of my best posts on this type of dessert. Please enjoy and share! This recipe today is because sometimes, especially as a parent you just a sweet treat, a dessert that you don’t have to share with the little people that control your life, a brownie single serve dessert. A brownie in a mug is the perfect thing for that it is the easy, perfect one-person dessert.
A Brownie in a Mug – Single Serve Dessert

Sometimes you might need a little more than a single-serve I know, and that would be why I have a number of brownie recipes in our recipe box, such as vanilla, chocolate, and such.
I want to first off say there are two ways to cook these, one way is quick and simple: the microwave. About a minute and it’s done depending on your microwave.

The other way is in the oven. I have used both methods… loving how quickly it cooks in the microwave, but we were a microwave-less household for quite a few years by choice so I often used my oven to make this when I needed a pick-me-up.
This is a great treat at the end of a long day. Maybe top with a little sprinkling of powdered sugar. Or mix up a little frosting. Oh man, vanilla ice cream would be amazing on this, you know, if you can hold on to, eating all the ice cream, which I can not do.
*I am back to having a microwave and this delicious single-serve, just for me, I am not sharing a treat, ready in just 5 minutes.*
If I make this in the oven I tend to throw this in when I make supper because I don’t want to run the oven just for this delicious single-serve dessert, but that is just me, you do you.

How to Make A Quick Dessert Brownie in a Mug:
Get a microwave or oven-safe mug or, I like to use, ramekins.
Mix together the ingredients. The order doesn’t much matter. Mix well.
In the microwave for 1 minute or until a toothpick comes out clean. If 1 minute doesn’t do it, put it back in for 10 seconds and recheck, repeat until cooked through.
OR if you are using your oven:
Bake in the oven at 350 for 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Delicious! It is light and chocolaty! There is nothing like quick and easy desserts for one to turn your day and night around after a long, hard day.
Be careful because your mug or bowl is going to be hot. These bowl cozies are great to keep you from burning your fingers because you just want to enjoy a sweet treat. Place your microwavable dish inside the bowl cozy and put it in the microwave to heat, grab the cozy instead of the bowl.
