This Microwave Brownie Mug Cake is the perfect quick and easy treat when you’re craving a fudgy and indulgent brownie!
Microwave Brownie Mug Cake
This Microwave Brownie Mug Cake was inspired by both my love for brownies and the Ready Player One book/movie.
In the book, there’s a scene where Wade (the main character) enjoys a microwave brownie. I’m sure it’s all a little more high tech than this here mug version, but it’s still a fun and delicious treat for when you’re craving a fudge brownie.
I love this recipe because it only takes a few minutes to make and it makes just enough for one person, so you won’t have a whole pan of brownies on the counter to tempt you later.
If you want to add even more fun to this Ready Player One inspired recipe, you should make this IOI Corporate Mug! But you can also make this recipe in a bowl, you just might need to reduce the cooking time a little bit.
