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!

how long to you microwave if you Double the Ingredients?
I’m so glad you liked it! Now that you know the behavior of your microwave, it’ll be even better next time!
I tried making these and I ended up burning it…I put it in for 2 minutes
But the part that wasn’t burnt tastes delicious! I’ll have to try and remake it.
Great tips! Thanks for sharing!
I added in a pinch of baking soda and a little more milk and it was yummmmmmmmmy!!!!! Thanks for the recipe, now if I ever get a sweet tooth, i can whip this up in a couple of minutes. I even made the mix and put it into individual baggies and have it available on cue.
There is an opossum in the pool. I substituted the oil with 2tbs of pumpkin puree. The dark coffee and Andie’s Mint mini chips gave the gooey cake a delicious depth. I cooked it for exactly 90 seconds. I also packed the top with a crushed graham cracker and butter mixture. It was delicious. .
Any neutral flavored oil will work!
can I substitute the canola oil in it? I dont have canola and what would be the best alternate for it?
I thought this recipe sounded really good, so I tried it. I had to make some changes; firstly, I used dark chocolate cocoa powder, and secondly I used coffee because the only milk I had was almond milk, and the recipe said that I could use coffee, I also added some slivered almonds. I tasted the incredibly thick batter, and it was so bitter, it tasted like cough syrup. So I added more sugar until it was sweet enough. First I microwaved it for a minute and twenty-five seconds, it didn’t look done so I microwaved it for thirty more seconds. When I pulled it out it was bubbling a bit, the taste was pretty good, but I didn’t like the texture.
I wonder if this works with soy flour or wheat flour or any other rather than all-purpose. If any of you have tried, please share your experience!
Could I bake it instead of microwave? If so, how long should it be baked?
Mine burned. Can someone tell me why? I did the 2 1/2 minutes but it began to burn at 2.
Nope. 🙂
Looks fun! Do you cover the mug when you put it in the microwave?
These are off the chain good. I even threw in some white chocolate chips for good measure. The Hubby told me to tell you that “You outdid yourself.” Success!
