Now who doesn't totally love brownies! Well if you don't then something MUST be wrong with you!!!! {giggles} With this recipe, you can have brownies anytime you like simply leaving the spoon and mug to clean when you're done!What can be better than that: Rich yummy chocolate brownies AND very little cleanup!!!!
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. Microwave 1 minute. Brownies are moist and done. If in doubt check it with a toothpick. Over cooking will create rubbery brownies instead of soft moist brownies.
Jenn's Tips: After practicing this recipe MANY MANY TIMES, I found the combination of warm water then letting the batter rest allowed the flour to thoroughly dissolve into a smoother consistency eliminating the white flour spots shown in the photo above. You can try substituting Vegetable Oil for shortening but, my attempts resulted in a rubbery brownie and the chocolate wasn't as rich.

No bake cookies have long been our quick and easy treat, but this I'm going to have to try. All you need is a scoop of ice cream to finish it! ;)
ReplyDeleteWell, we don't have a microwave (haven't for years now) so I have to make mine in the oven. But brownies right now sounds so good... maybe some Rocky Road ice cream too!
