Well hey there internet!
Now, I LOVE all things dessert related! I would definitely
pick something sweet over something savoury any day!
So when I was browsing the internet (as you do) I came
across this concept of making a brownie in less than 5 minutes.
And as an impatient person with a sweet tooth I
clicked that article right away!
It was like all of life’s wishes had been granted at
once.
I know I know, not only am I incredibly late to
the game but I'm guessing you're all probably sick of these variations of how
to make mug brownie. Everyone and their mother has seen/made this but after
looking at different recipes and trying out different methods I’ve combined
bits of ofmany recipes I’ve found to create the perfect (in my opinion)
brownie.
Warning: IT’S IN NO WAY HEALTHY AT ALL BUT MY GOODNESS
IS IT DELICIOUS!
You will need:
4 Tablespoons Flour
4 Tablespoons Sugar
2 Tablespoons Cocoa powder (Note: don't use cocoa mix or quik, it shouldn't
have any sugar)
2 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil (Don't use one with a strong flavour, e.g. olive,
sesame, etc)
1 tablespoon of nutella (or any generic hazelnut spread or in fact any spread
of your choice ...maybe not marmite unless you're looking to really experiment
with this)
1 Tablespoon milk
Dash of salt
Ice cream (optional)
A Microwave
OH! and a mug!
1) Place all your dry ingredients
in the mug and mix until it looks like hot chocolate powder, like so:
2) Add your vegetable
oil and milk until all the ingredients have mixed together and you’ve got this
thick gooey texture with no dry powder in it at all (check the bottom of the
mug)
3) Add a tablespoon of
nutella (optional) into the middle of your mixture and let in sink in a bit.
4) Place your mug in the
microwave for about 50 seconds (depending on your microwave)
5) Serve with ice cream
on top if you want to and ENJOY!
The reason I made
this post is because I like things that are efficient and easy. Who
doesn't? So coming across this was pretty cool. I get to enjoy the
deliciousness of baked stuff without actually baking!
And I'm no
professional baker, I'm actually better at cooking than I am at baking because
there have been many occasions where I've turned into a hot mess because things
are not going right.
But I have a sweet
tooth. So I enjoy eating sweet baked goods more than cooked food.
Do you see my
dilemma?
So coming across
these recipes online made me want to try again.
And for once it
wasn't a total failure!
THANKS INTERNET!
Side note : after
making this a couple of times I've realised that it's a lot less messier and
easier if you make it in a bowl.
So I technically should have called it 'A brownie in a bowl' I mean it even
sounds better!
Oh well, I never
claimed to be a professional at this.
Question of the day:
Do you bake? Or do you try to but somehow something goes wrong like me?
