Brownie In A Mug (Gluten Free & Dairy Free)
Do you ever have a craving for brownies, but don’t need a whole pan of them sitting on the counter to tempt you later? I searched high and low for a good brownie-in-a-mug recipe. Most used sugars and flours I didn’t want. Hence, I ended up coming up with this one which is gluten and dairy free.
It is super simple and we like it better than any of the other recipes I tried. The best part is that it only makes 1 serving, and is done in less than 5 minutes.
Brownie In A Mug:
2 Tbsp Oat flour
2 Tbsp Sugar
2 Tbsp Cocoa/cacao powder
2 Tbsp Water
2 Tbsp Oil (I do olive)
(1 Tbsp chocolate chips, optional)
The Process
If you aren’t gluten free, just make this with regular flour. Works great! If you don’t have oat flour feel free to substitute with another GF flour or use a gluten free flour blend. (Here’s more information on various gluten free flours.)
This recipe fits well in a standard size mug. Simply add all ingredients and mix well with a fork. I love chocolate chips in mine, though my husband prefers it without. We like a rich, extremely chocolate-y brownie more on the gooey side and not cake-like. If this is just too strong for you, do 2-3 tsp cocoa powder instead of 2 Tbsp. Additionally, if you like a fluffy cake-like brownie add 1/2 tsp baking powder.
Place the mug with your brownie concoction in the microwave. Cooking times vary a lot from one microwave to another, for mine 1 minute and 15 seconds is perfect. There is no egg in this recipe so feel free to go on the moist side, or cook a full 1 minute 30 seconds to ensure it’s well cooked.
Eat it straight out of the mug or scoop it out onto a plate. Top with ice cream, pour some cream over it, or dive right in as-is.
