Brownie In A Mug (6 Variations) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup flour
2 tablespoons cocoa
1 pinch salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil or 2 tablespoons melted butter
5 tablespoons water
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Preparation

Add all of dry ingredients to mug.
Mix well with a fork or small whisk until blended.
Add oil or melted butter, water, and vanilla.
Mix well (add mix-ins if using).
Put in the microwave and cook on high heat for 1 minute 40 seconds - 2 minutes (less time for a more moist brownie, more time for a more cake-like brownie).
Add toppings or a scoop of ice cream and enjoy!
Variations:
Mounds: add 1-2 tablespoons chocolate chips and a sprinkling of sweetened flaked coconut on top of cooked brownie.
Peanut Butter Swirl: add 1-2 tbsp creamy peanut butter into mix before microwaving, or add 1 tablespoons on top of brownie after its cooked (I've noticed the peanut butter swirl tastes best with peanut butter on top of the brownie after it's cooked).
Berry Jam: top cooked brownie with 1-2 tablespoons melted berry jam (strawberry, raspberry or blackberry is best. Just heat in microwave until melted then pour over brownie).
S'mores: top cooked brownie with mini marshmallows and graham cracker crumbs.
Candy Bar: mix in 1-2 tablespoons of your favorite chopped chocolate candy bar into the mix before heating, or add m&ms.
Caramel Sea Salt: drop 2 salted caramels into the middle of the mix before heating, and once done top with a light sprinkle of sea salt.
