¼ cup Chelsea White Sugar
¼ cup Edmonds Self Raising Flour
2-3 Tbsp cocoa
¼ cup water
2 Tbsp Olivani Pure Olive Oil
2-3 drops vanilla essence
In a microwave proof mug, add the Chelsea White Sugar, Edmonds Self Raising Flour & cocoa.
Add the liquid – water, Olivani Pure Olive Oil and essence and mix all together until there are no lumps.
Microwave for 1 minute at a time. It may be cooked after the first minute depending on your microwave, if not, put in for another 30 seconds to a minute.
Once cooked serve with cream or Meadow Fresh Original Milk.
Brilliant. Adjust flour to coca. Extra cocoa, less flour. Used half butter, half oil. Double time for 2. Then leave covered for a minute. Soft and fluffy inside, gooey outside.
Bad. Tastes alright at first, but quickly you realize it just tastes like overly sweet oil water. like was very disappoint
Bad. Tastes alright at first, but quickly you realize it just tastes like overly sweet oil water. Also, why so non-specific about the amount of cocoa powder needed? Annoying. Not worth it, there are better recipes out there.
The mug cake was really good and definitely will be making it again. I do recommend milo instead of cocoa powder.
Too strong for my little one, she couldn't eat it. Texture was sludgy. I've made much nicer mug cakes before.
I can’t believe I followed the recipe and used olive oil. I knew in my heart it wouldn’t be right. Far too strong of a flavour, it overpowers the coco and the sweetness. Would recommend canola, sunflower or peanut oil instead
I make this for a snack or dessert, it goes great with cream or ice cream. Delicious recipe and easy as!!
So yummy! A little weird and spongey on the top and I didn't really like that, but otherwise, SO GOOD!
I highly reccomend and I. will definetly make it again :)
amazing taste very good I don't know what those other people were saying it was a great recipe tastes really good and I definitely recommend making it
amazing taste very good I don't know what those other people were saying it was a great recipe tastes really good and I definitely recommend making it
Used milk instead of water and added choc-chips. Pretty tasty, though recipe is more like two servings. Would recommend halving or making in two different mugs.
You know you messed up when you open the microwave to see undercooked brownie overflowing from your mug. I dont know what I did wrong!
Really unimpressed with this, followed the exact ingredients, cooked to the perfect time yet it still turned out as a chocolate sludge… thing. Tried cooking for longer but this didn’t help.
It was Delicious! I made it for my uncles birthday! He said "Its Amazing good job!" You guys make the best recipes!
i used butter instead and heated at 1min intervals, try not heat for 2 min straight. better to have intervals of rest in between. it came out not too wet but not too dry. recommed adding choc chips!
This is really delicious me and my sister have them every Saturday for breakfast we have been using this recipe for one whole year
Really liked it - needed an extra 30 seconds but my brother loved it. We added chocolate chips and chocolate sauce as well and that made it better.
this recepie is amazing! i used a bit of icing sugar instead of white sugar and turned out yum! try it its amazing
I thought this recipe looked pretty good at first, but after trying it it was a little bit plain. I Suggest adding more sugar as it sometimes sinks to the bottom which i didnt like. i also suggest using a wider mug to solve this sugar problem. Pretty cool recipe.
we make it with gluten free self raising flour idk if this changed texture, but it was I bit funny overall was a quick fun recipe to follow with kids :)
This is a very quick thing too whip up for morning or afternoon tea. Its very yummy on a cold day. Taking in what i saw on the comments I thought It wasn't going to taste that great but you can never judge a book by its cover can you? I decided to change it up a bit by adding in some chocalate chips that really did the trick and adding some cinnamon that would of been really good in the actual recipe but if you do not wish to put it in go that way. Coffee that would of been nice, just a dash though. It is awesome to teach kids to make this the way I suggested.
Overall it was GREAT!!
So quick n easy. It tastes really rich yummy with whipped cream. I think most people would like it to be sweeter so add more sugar. I suggest using a soup mug cos its wider best to eat from. A coffee mug seems to compress the mix in the bottom which I didn’t like too much. Quick easy to learn as sugar and flour and water are all a quarter cup each. Then cocoa and oil are 2 tablespoons each. Mix quickly add a dash of vanilla essence. Done. 1minute was good but i think 1&half minutes is spot on. Good to impress your friends.
It wasnt really that nice by itself but I think it's nice with ice cream. Wouldn't recommend if you are looking for a nice brownie recipe.
This was really good, I cut back on the sugar and added a tiny bit of ice cream after it was cooked, was delicious!
hi we tried it in three different mugs. They all turn out different. one was like a pudding taste, 2 was like a cake and then the 3 was runny at fist then got harder. The 3 was like a pancake or what i would call it a mugcake.
Great recipe! Although I make it with plain flour which gives it a much better texture and is more of a fudge brownie. Don’t like it with self raising flour
I think it was sweet enough, but a lot less chocolate-y than I imagined. Its not so much of a brownie though, more of a cake. I would say there are definitely better recipes for mug brownies and cakes out there but this one wasn't too bad.
Doesn't have much flavour, and stuck to the roof of my mouth. Doesn't give a brownie like texture. Very disappointed.
This is a great late night snack or for something to eat at home. Would recommend adding chocolate chips - so good.
This recipe is absolutely delicious! Would make this again! I had to cook this for 1minute and 30 seconds, so it was true.
Omg this was so good and so quick, I made the mistake of forgetting it wasn’t a cake and added icing but it didn’t need it- so moist and yummy on its own! Will definitely make again :)
It was far too runny so the mixture stayed the consistency of chocolate sauce. I could have added more flour but decided to use it like chocolate sauce over icecream instead. It was delicious in the end!
Awesome brownie in a mug!! Definitely what I was looking for. A nice desert to make my chocolate cravings go away :)
YUM! Such a quick way to make a brownie rather than waiting for ages while it bakes in the oven, plus it's tasty as!
This was such an amazing recipe to make. It took me about 3mins to make and was delicious to have on a cold day.
super tasty, love it. was looking everywhere for a good 'cake in a cup' recipe and then i found this. i love brownies and it doesn't take me ages with this recipe. thank you!
Delicious brownie. I added white chocolate drops and cut back on the sugar slightly and it was so good. Will try it will milk next time instead of water as there was a little blandness to it that I think was from water.
Izzy:
it was really really good I loved the amazing taste of brownie definitely doing it again! The bottom was great I think this is a winner! LOVED IT!!!
Stella: I really enjoyed this a lot and will definitely are doing this again and I put it in for too long but still enjoyed it good for dessert and before bed
the recipe was far to wet and when i tried to cook it for longer it had burned inside and had a revolting smell and it felt like it singed by nose hairs. the smell lingoured around for a while i did not end up trying it because of the smell. I may have done something wrong but until it works 0/10 DO NOT RECOMMEND waste of ingredients and stinks up your house and you can't even eat it...
Great recipe, the best cup brownie I've tried yet.
For those who said it was too dry, be sure to stop cooking when it looks just slightly under-cooked. This allows for residual heat to finish cooking it and then it will stay moist. It cooks really fast due to the high oil and sugar content, and retains quite a bit of heat. Brownies should always be slightly undercooked anyway - they're supposed to be that texture!
Also, for a really rich flavour, I highly recommend using the best Dutch cocoa. It's well worth it!
It was okay but a bit bland. Not very sweet. Could definitely do with chocolate bits to liven it up.
Wow home alone felt like something sweet and stambiled across this tried it out and it tasted so good and it's easy to make
Way better then I thought it would be. However it's super rich. I split the one serving into two cups and cooked for 40 seconds. Glad I split the receipe to share
I used olive oil and I could taste it far too much! Should I have used a different oil? Texture etc was good, but couldn't eat it because of the taste of oil!
CHELSEA: Hi there, olive oil can have quite a strong flavour. We would recommend using a more neutral oil - canola would work well.
So awesome! Would definitely make again. I think it would taste bomb with raspberries in it! It didn't take long to make and I would 100% recommend this recipe. I would recommend adding all the ingredients though, it can turn out a bit dry if you don't add all of the water or oil.
I love this easy recipe! it was delicious and only took about 2 minutes to make, im definitely doing this again!
FANTASTIC! WONDERFUL! AMAZING!! This is an incredible dish to serve and eat. It isn't too dry and isn't hard at all, This is always gonna be a nice dish.
Best cup brownie. I love it! The person who said it was too dry obviously put it in the microwave too long. To avoid this, perhaps start with 30 seconds instead 1 minute.
