Ingredients
- 2 1/2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 tablespoons chocolate chips plus extra for topping
- 1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Powdered sugar for topping (optional)
- Vanilla ice cream for serving (optional)
Instructions
- In a microwave-safe mug, stir together the granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, and unsweetened cocoa powder until the mixture is lump-free.

- Add the chocolate chips, vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract. Stir gently until the batter is just combined; avoid overmixing for a fudgy texture.

- Sprinkle a few more chocolate chips on top, then microwave on high for 60 seconds. Check the center and, if needed, microwave in 10-second bursts until set but still moist.

- Allow the brownie to rest for about 1 minute before serving. Enjoy it on its own with powdered sugar on top or with a scoop of ice cream.
