Ingredients

Brownie Batter Ingredients

  • ¼ cup All-purpose flour / Maida (approx. 30g / 1 oz) levelled
  • ¼ cup Granulated sugar (approx. 50g / 1.7 oz) or caster sugar
  • 2 tbsp Unsweetened cocoa powder (approx. 14g / 0.5 oz) good quality
  • 2 tbsp Melted butter (approx. 30 ml / 1 fl oz) unsalted, melted
  • ¼ cup + ½ tbsp Milk at room temperature (approx. 67 ml / 2.3 fl oz)
  • ¼ tsp Vanilla extract / essence (approx. 1.25 ml)

Optional Toppings

  • 1 scoop Vanilla ice cream to serve warm brownie

Instructions

  • In a wide mixing bowl (or directly in a microwave-safe mug), add all the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour (maida), sugar, and unsweetened cocoa powder. Whisk well with a fork to remove any lumps.

  • Add melted butter, room temperature milk, and vanilla essence. Mix well for about 1 minute in one direction until the sugar is dissolved and the batter becomes smooth, glossy, and falls like a ribbon.

  • Transfer the mixture to a 10–12 oz microwave-safe ceramic coffee mug (or bake directly in the bowl if microwave-safe). The batter should fill no more than half the mug.

  • Microwave on HIGH power (800W) for 1 minute to 1 minute 20 seconds. Check the texture; if the top looks wet or fluid, microwave in short 10-second bursts. Insert a toothpick or skewer into the center—when it comes out mostly clean, the brownie is done. Do not over-bake, as brownies become hard and rubbery.

  • Carefully remove the mug (it will be hot). Let it rest for 1 minute to settle. Top with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce and serve immediately while warm!

Notes

  • Color of brownie may slightly vary as per the color of cocoa powder. I used Weikfield cocoa powder which was dark in color.
  • While mixing the dry ingredients, make sure there are no lumps.
  • Add the wet ingredients and mix in one direction always.
  • Never over bake it. Keep it for a minute first. Remove and check its texture. If you find any fluid on top, keep it for 10 seconds again and check. Repeat the same until a toothpick or back of spoon comes out clean. Over baking makes the brownie hard and chewy.
