📖 Variations

Nutty Brownie: Add a tablespoon of chopped nuts, like walnuts or almonds, for some extra crunch and flavor.

Fruit Fusion: Mix in some chopped berries or banana slices for a fruity twist.

Cookie Lover's Delight: Crush a vegan cookie or two and sprinkle them over the top before microwaving.

Peanut Butter Paradise: Swirl in a spoonful of peanut butter before cooking for a delightful peanut butter-chocolate combo.

💭 Tips

Sift the cocoa powder: To avoid lumps in your brownie, sift the cocoa powder before adding it to the mug.

Don't overmix: Stir just until the ingredients are combined. Overmixing can make your brownie dense.

Cook in intervals: Microwave ovens vary, so if your brownie needs a bit more time, cook in 10-15 second intervals to avoid overcooking.

Let it cool: The brownie will be piping hot when it comes out of the microwave, so give it a minute to cool before digging in.
