Now who doesn't totally love brownies! Well if you don't then something MUST be wrong with you!!!! {he he he} With this recipe, you can have brownies anytime you like and only have the spoon and mug to clean when you're done! Without further adieu here's your recipe for 5 Minute Mug Brownies!Ingredients
- 6 oz Coffee Cup (Microwave Proof)
- 2 Tbs Self Rising Flour
- 1 Tbs Unsweetened Baking Cocoa
- 1 Tbs Granulated Sugar
- 1 tsp Vegetable Shortening
- 3 Tbs Warm Water
Mix all dry ingredients in mug. Cut in teaspoon of shortening. Mix warm water and let rest for a few seconds and stir again. Nuke 1 minute. Brownies are moist and done. If in doubt use the toothpick method but over cooking will create rubbery brownies instead of soft moist brownies.
Jenn's Tips: The combination of warm water and letting the batter rest allows the flour to thoroughly dissolve into a smoother batter. I didn't let my batter sit long enough which is why there's a few white dots in my brownies pictured. You can try substituting Vegetable Oil for shortening but, my vegetable oil version resulted in a rubbery brownie and the chocolate wasn't as rich as with the recipe using shortening.

C'mon, brownies are good ALL the time! {giggle} Sometimes I hate myself for figuring these things out. I need to start doing more healthy recipes. All my dessert goodies are going straight to my hips and my butt {sigh} even though they are totally worth it the splurge some days!

Thanks, I'm hoping to celebrate with my first giveaway next week! I hope you and Grace are feeling MUCH better this week. I saw how crummy you guys were feeling last week and I remember all too well how hard it is when you AND the toddler feel terrible!!!

A little idea I had at Christmas (when I stumbled a very similar recipe) was to bag the dry ingredients, stick the baggy in a pretty christmas mug, bow and tag with instructions for adding the moist ingredients and how long to nuke ... and gift to teachers, crossing guard, etc. I'm sure this could work well for any occasion by simply changing the mug and tag "theme". It went over very well!
