Saying Microwave Mug Double Chocolate Brownie is a mouthful. However, it’s the most delicious mouthful EVER!
There are certain All-American desserts that are a right of passage for kids. Take chocolate brownies. Whenever I found myself at a bake sale as a kid — which was often — even when every dessert known to man could be found on the table, I always grabbed for that gorgeous, rich square of chocolate — the brownie. While people have very strong opinions when it comes to nuts vs. not in brownies, I’ve personally never been a nut girl. For me it’s all about one thing, the chocolate. These days my brownie go-to recipes are Whole Wheat Double Chocolate Brownie Bites and classic Chocolate Brownies (without refined sugar). That being said, I am always looking to try new brownie concoctions.

This Microwave Mug Double Chocolate Brownie is not only decadent, rich and unbelievably quick to make, it’s also the perfect portion size to serve up for either a special little dessert or a well deserved daytime or evening treat. (The only issue for me these days, being so pregnant and all, is trying to keep my sweet tooth in check — not to mention my kids’!)
Also, I can’t stress enough how fast and easy this recipe is. Simply mix all of the ingredients in a bowl, pour the batter into your mug and microwave (1 1/2 minutes for a gooey brownie or 2 1/2 minutes if you like your brownie cooked all the way through). People can also get very particular about consistency and how they like their brownies cooked. This recipe is ideal for satisfying everyone you’re making them for. Since these brownies are single servings, you can make them to each person’s liking.
They also make a beautiful presentation and have the added whimsical factor of being made in a mug — something I bet your kids will love!

I did It! First time ever! 🙂 It was fun making it. I added a Pastillas ice cream on top(before serving) just because I can’t find vanilla ice cream at the moment . Will try the vanilla one next week.
Sounds fab. Mouthwatering recipe. Thank you for making life yummier, happier, funnier…we always need people who jazz up our lives. The brownies look awesome too!
This looks so rich and delicious! What a great treat!
Dont make it if its so bad. I doubt it will kill you. If iys too fattening for you, you probably have some spinach styffed somewhere in your fridge. Try that.
You sound like you could use a brownie 🙂
Some of us eat healthy enough and are fit enough to have a treat once in awhile. It will do my wasteline no harm.
You know that you’re under no obligation to make this recipe, right?
Your delicious looking recipe is a calorie bomb at 666 calories per mug! Yes, it is quick and convenient, but at what cost to our waistlines? I could have 3 of my own homemade brownies at the “cost” of one of these. I really enjoy a lot of your recipes, but this one, besides being totally fattening and laden with fats from the oil and chocolate chips is a basic knock-off of the Food Network’s recipe, which uses the same amount of butter instead of the oil called for in your version with a bit of vanilla and salt… 🙁
Coconut oil should work just fine, but it will add flavor! You could also use any neutral oil or butter if you wanted the buttery flavor.
I’ve used coconut oil in a very similar recipe and it works wonderfully! I also subbed vanilla almond milk for the milk.
We don’t use canola. Can coconut oil be substituted? Thanks.
Just made this! Didn’t have canola, so replaced with milled flax. YUM! Perfect little brownie fix.
Wow, this looks great!
