📋 Ingredients

• all-purpose flour
• granulated sugar or brown sugar (nowadays I prefer it with granulated sugar)
• chocolate powder or cocoa powder (it will depend if you prefer a sweeter brownie or a more intense brownie)
• water
• vegetable oil
• salt (just a pinch)
• powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)

🍳 How to make it

Making this microwave brownie is pretty simple:

• In an individual serving bowl add flour, sugar, chocolate/cocoa powder and salt. Mix. Add water, vegetable oil and mix well. Microwave for 30 seconds on high. If you like, dust with powdered sugar.
• The time needed on the microwave can change according to its power. If you have a powerful one, maybe start with 25 seconds and check. If you have a less powerful microwave oven, you might want to leave a little bit longer.

If you would like a traditional brownie recipe, take a look at this one: Best Ever Brownies. Or maybe one with a Brazilian twist: Brownies with Brigadeiro Frosting.

• For a richer taste, use cocoa powder.
• Chocolate powder will give you a sweeter and milder tasting brownie.
• Add 1 chopped walnut or a couple of chopped almonds for extra crunch.
• Place a piece of dark chocolate in the middle of the brownie before microwaving for a creamy surprise.
• A drop or two of vanilla extract (or 1/4 tsp instant coffee) will add a kick to it.
