Microwave Brownie in a Cup

By mikeimmell

I’m really excited to share this recipe for a microwave brownie in a cup! I’ve used simple ingredients to create a real homemade brownie in the microwave. For this recipe you can mix and microwave this right in a coffee mug. I used a ramekin for these pictures, but either will work wonderfully. Just make sure it is microwave safe.


Brownie in a cup is absolutely amazing with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top! **Just a note, make sure to follow the steps that have been outlined in the recipe, and don’t substitute margarine spreads for butter. :0)
