Ingredients
1 tablespoon salted butter (or unsalted butter + a pinch of salt)
2 tablespoons semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon brown sugar
1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
2 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon chocolate chips (optional, for extra richness)
Instructions
In a microwave-safe mug, melt the butter in the microwave. Add the chocolate chips and stir until fully melted. Microwave in short bursts if needed until smooth.
Add the egg yolk, brown sugar, and vanilla extract (if using). Stir until well combined.
Add the flour and mix until just incorporated and no dry spots remain. Fold in extra chocolate chips if desired.
Microwave on high for 45 seconds. If needed, cook for an additional 10–15 seconds depending on your microwave strength.
Let cool slightly and enjoy warm for a fudgy texture.
Notes
Do not overcook, or the brownie will become dry instead of fudgy.
Microwave times may vary depending on wattage.
For extra indulgence, top with ice cream or whipped cream.
Use a larger mug to prevent overflow while cooking.
