This was the fastest recipe ever and satisfied my chocolate craving. Not exactly what I was expecting as far as the texture goes, but pretty darn tasty!

Very good! A nice, quick, chocolaty desert. Moist, almost pudding like.
I put a nice big square of chocolate on top of each mug too. As it cooked the chocolate square slowly sank in the batter & melted making a gooey, sticky HOT chocolate center.
Easy to make from staples that are always in the cupboard. I’ll keep it in my repertoire. Add some ice cream, or maybe a few strawberries, and it’s dressed for company.

Wow! I so didn’t expect this to work! But it did. It’s not sweet enough to my tastes, so I think I’ll add an extra tablespoon of sugar next time and maybe a pinch of salt. But it seriously made a brownie in the microwave. And without tons left over!

I made the entire recipe in the mug so there was virtually no clean up! I agree that it needs a bit more sugar, but other than that, its great!
*If you have a powerful microwave only cook it for 1 minute! Mine was almost too done after 1 minute and it was super hot.

This is great! I sprinkled some chocolate chips in mine before I put it in the microwave. Really easy with ingredients I had on hand. Next time I’ll try a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top

This was very tasty and perfect when a quick chocolate fix is needed.I added a splash of vanilla and a pinch of expresso powder. It was yummy warm with a small spoonful of ice cream on top.I microwaved it for a minute and a half and I think that was just a bit too long so I will try a minute 15 the next time.

Such a lovely recipe! I tried it and then called my brother up so he would try. I think next time, I’ll make a 1/2 batch because it was so rich but real good. A good scoop of ice cream would be the prefect match . Thanks.

I just made this, it was pretty good. A bit too rich for me, but it was definitely satisfying. Mine didn’t cook too evenly though which made for a lava cake in reverse in my mug haha.

This is a great way to satisfy a chocolate craving. It is the perfect amount to share with my daughter or husband. I like it best with dutch process cocoa. I am going to have to try adding vanilla and espresso powder next time!
My microwave must have a high power because a minute over cooked the brownie slightly. I found that 45 sec gives me a bit of gooey lava cake goodness.
I love that this has no egg. One of the kids in my sunday school class has an egg allergy so I’m passing this recipe on to his mom.

You can also just mix everything right in the mug. Only 1 dish to clean!

This recipe is great! Very simple and perfect for those days when you just need a little something sweet! And, it’s easily customizable, you could add chocolate chips, drizzle it with caramel, make a little fruit topping, dollop some ice cream on top, or all of the above! I made this the other night and it hit the spot. It was a bit dry, so I may up the oil next time, and I also wonder what adding an egg would do (although I think a whole egg would be too much for this small of a batch).

I have a very similar recipe that has the same ingredients + 1 egg and a splash of vanilla. Comes out more cake like. Always does the trick when I get a chocolate craving. Google ’5 minute chocolate mug cake’ for other variations.

Have you ever tried making this just a little less than what the cook time is supposed to be I think it might be gooey and delicious I think that would be GREAT!!!!!
ksmit on 8.15.2010
Just tried it and I thought it was DELICIOUS!!! did you invent this recipe? if you did I deem you the ultimate cooking MAD scientist!! GREAT JOB!!!!!! I think I could have cooked it a little longer like a minute 15 but it was really gooey I LOVED it!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe I did something wrong because I thought these tasted very bland. They were also very dense and rubbery.
