Best Brownie in a Mug
brownie in a mug
During cool evenings, this brownie in a mug is the perfect evening treat or dessert. This recipe uses real butter and cream cheese – and I’m certain you will think it worth the effort.
Place butter and cream cheese into a microwave measuring cup and heat for thirty seconds. While that is happening, combine the dry ingredients. Then add milk and vanilla to the butter/cream cheese mixture. Combine your wet and dry ingredients. Place into a microwavable mug or a 1/2 pint jar. A taller, narrow mug or jar works best.
Heat* in microwave for 90 seconds or less. Watch your brownie carefully to make certain it doesn’t rise over the top of the mug. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream if you’d like.
Some hints
You can mix up the dry ingredients for this ahead of time. Then when you are ready to make the brownie, all you need to do is combine the wet ingredients and add them to the dry mixture.
Having an easy recipe like this allows each child or adult to choose his own mug and help make his own brownie. This recipe helps make a party out of an every-day event. You will have more mugs to wash, but there won’t be any mixing supplies or large pan that need to be mashed.
