Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 egg

  1. Prepare your ingredients: In a microwave-safe mug or small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons sugar, 3 tablespoons flour, 2 tablespoons cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt. Add 1 egg, 2 tablespoons melted butter, and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
  2. Microwave or bake: Microwave for 45-60 seconds or bake in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes. Check doneness with a toothpick — it should come out clean.
  3. Cool and serve: Let the brownie cool for a few minutes before enjoying. Top with whipped cream or ice cream if desired.
