Tips and Variations

1. Add more Chocolate Chips: For a bit of extra chocolate, add a small handful of chocolate chips (milk, dark, semi-sweet) to the batter before microwave cooking.

2. Go Fudgier: For rich, fudgy brownies, use milk or a plant-based milk alternative in place of water.

3. Variations on Toppings: Top your mug brownie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a dollop of whipped cream, a drizzle of chocolate sauce or some sprinkles once it’s cooked.

4. Check Your Microwave: Microwaves are widely variable in strength. If your brownie is still gooey in the middle after the suggested time, microwave it for another 15 seconds or so, until it is cooked to your liking.
