Two-Minute Microwave Brownies

So you’re ~inherently lazy! into simple things (like me) and you don’t want to bake a whole tray of brownies, I have this stupid-simple brownie recipe that uses that oh so ~lazy! simple device: the microwave.

Now you can get your chocolate/brownie fix in less than 5 minutes.

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons milk
• ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 pinch of salt
• 4 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour

If you’d like a more chocolate-y flavour, you can substitute the milk with tepid espresso or coffee. Or if you want an even richer brownie, use cream.

Directions:

• Thoroughly combine all the ingredients in a small bowl,
• Portion into small microwave-proof dishes or cups.
• Cover with a paper towel and zap in your standard microwave in 30 second intervals, until the tops are no longer jiggly. (For the one you see above, it took 90 seconds).
• Remove let cool for about 30 seconds.

If you want to get really crazy with the level of chocolate, submerge a piece of dark chocolate in the batter before microwaving.
