Instructions

Mix Dry Ingredients (1 minute): In a microwave-safe mug (at least 12 ounces to prevent overflow), mix together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt.
Add Wet Ingredients (1 minute): Add water, vegetable oil (or melted butter), and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients in the mug. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and there are no lumps.
Stir in Chocolate Chips (1 minute): Fold in 2 tablespoons of chocolate chips into the batter, ensuring they’re evenly distributed.
Microwave (1-1.5 minutes): Microwave the mug on high for about 60 to 90 seconds. Start checking at 60 seconds, as microwave powers vary, and the brownie can quickly go from moist to overcooked. The brownie should be moist and slightly gooey in the center.
Add Toppings (1 minute): Immediately after microwaving, sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top of the hot brownie. The residual heat will melt them slightly, creating a gooey and delicious topping.
Serve and Enjoy: Allow the brownie to cool for a couple of minutes, as it will be extremely hot. Enjoy your quick and easy microwave mug brownie directly from the mug for a delightful treat.
