Easy Brownie in a Mug Recipe

[@jesuslover6822]

Out of all the brownie mug recipes I’ve tried, this is definitely the best one. I never comment on baking channels, but I had to comment on this one because it’s soooooo good. I didn’t add any chocolate chips and it still taste absolutely amazing

[@catsrcool1105]

This recipe sucks. Try the ones with an egg yolk added. The egg gives it more texture and flavor.

[@synkimiko730]

@@catsrcool1105 i think its just u who doesnt like cause every other comment does.

[@synkimiko730]

@@catsrcool1105 yeah no i just made the recipe and added cream cheese and a lil sugar on top. Its godly for a microwavable dessert.

[@aliciagarciareinoso8320]

i second this! it is amazing!!!!

[@sdean440]

Agreed! Sometimes I’ve added orange extract instead of vanilla or added a peanut butter cup to the middle for something different 😬

[@DanmeiLover7]

I never write comments on videos but this time is different because this is the ONLY recipe that has ever worked for me, I’ve tried about 13 recipes and all of them tasted horrible or were super raw or the texture was just really rubbery and this was neither of them! It was sooo good and fudgy and I’m obsessed all day all I could think about was making this again, thank you for this recipe!!

[@seymourbones]

This is honestly such a good cake, i made it without the chocolate chips and it came out almost like a fudgy lava cake, i left the middle a little more "raw" and im glad i did

Dear John, I'm an italian (from the southern region called APULIA) follower of yours and I confess I like a lot your videos. I love cooking too and I used to watch my mom every time she was busy in the kitchen preparing lunch or dinner for our big family made of 7 "passionate eaters" (parents + 5 children). Let me tell you that I adore your accent, which I fully understand although I'm 100% italian (used to work for 2 full decades for SABRE, the big AMERICAN AIRLINES related Reservation System). Your way of explaining and showing the preparation of all these delicious recipes as well as your friendly voice are so catchy, sometimes I don't even care too much about the recipe but I adore the mesmerizing way you talk and share your goodies. Simply THE BEST among my favourite "chefs". God bless you :-* Hugs and kisses from Italy

I made this recipe with gluten free flour, sans the chocolate chips and with a little more cocoa and it was still lovely! I've made this with several different brands of gluten free flour so far and all have turned out wonderfully well so, if there are any people who want a gf mug brownie, this is the recipe for you! I simply substituted the regular flour for gf flour so it's not a difficult transition. When I've made this for other people, apart from the gf flour substitution and guaranteed gf chocolate chips, I've adhered to your recipe and everyone who's tried it has loved it! As always, your recipes always turn out well for me and this, and your lemon bar recipe, once again, substituting gf flour, are now regular favourites in my repertoire. I love your clear, calm, easy to follow and extremely enjoyable presentations and always enjoy watching, and making, your reliable recipes.

[@bluerose6859]

I think I'm going to make these in small mason jars for storage and dump in mug when using. This is terrific! This would be good for late-night snack or those nights I work late! Thanks for the recipe! I prefer brownies over cake.

Whenever we eat at Applebees, we love the Brownie Bites, because it's just enough sweetness to end the meal. I make this brownie in a cup, and divide it in half and put a small dollop of ice cream on it. Love it, and it''s so quick, plus we don;t have a whole panful of brownies that tempt me. This was the first Preppy KItchen recipe that I saw.
