Mugcake Recipe Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"ingredients<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Flour:<\/strong> I used all-purpose flour this time, but whole wheat works just as well. Want a gluten-free version? Try finger millet flour\u2014I used it in my chocolate cherry mug cake<\/a>., and it was just as rich and fudgy! Or even buckwheat flour as I did in my sticky toffee pudding<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oil:<\/strong> Canola oil was my pick, but any neutral vegetable oil will do. Melted coconut oil is another great option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Milk:<\/strong> Since I\u2019m lactose intolerant, almond milk<\/a> is my go-to. But oat milk<\/a>, coconut milk, or regular cow\u2019s milk all work beautifully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cocoa powder:<\/strong> Use unsweetened cocoa powder for that intense flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sugar:<\/strong> I used brown sugar for this recipe. But I have very successfully made it with coconut sugar, regular white sugar, and jaggery powder too! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baking powder:<\/strong> Since this vegan mug brownie recipe doesn\u2019t use eggs, baking powder helps give it a little lift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sea salt<\/strong> goes on top and in the batter. It rounds out the chocolate flavor perfectly\u2014don\u2019t skip it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vanilla extract<\/strong> gives the brownie in a mug a nice, deep flavor. Use homemade vanilla extract<\/a> or store-bought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chocolate:<\/strong> I love using 60% or higher dark chocolate, dairy-free if possible. Whatever you choose, be generous\u2014the more melty chocolate bits, the better!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brownie Mug Cake Variations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This easy brownie-in-a-mug recipe is meant for that extra stuff. <\/em>Add a spoonful of Nutella or peanut butter to the mix. A pinch of instant coffee is so good.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use frozen or fresh raspberries, as I did in my raspberry brownie bites.<\/a> Nuts\u2014pecans, walnuts, or any you love\u2014are delicious in the batter or sprinkled on top right before you microwave the cake. For a burst of fresh flavor, swirl in strawberry chia jam<\/a> in the batter.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
