3-Ingredient Microwave Mug Nutella Brownie
Serves 1
INGREDIENTS:
- ¼ cup + 1 tbsp (3 ¼ oz/90g) Nutella
- 1 large egg, gently whisked
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
DIRECTIONS:
- In a large microwavable mug, whisk together the Nutella and egg.
- Add flour, and mix until the batter is smooth.
- Microwave for roughly 45 seconds – 1 minute. Always keep a close eye on your mug while it is in the microwave, so it doesn’t overflow or overcook.
- When the brownie is set and firm on top, it is done. Let the brownie cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve with some vanilla ice cream while the brownie is still warm.
Notes: Mugs can be mixed up in advance and microwaved when you’re ready. Cooking time will vary depending on your microwave and the width and depth of the mug. Take care not to overcook, or the brownies can dry out.
