Questions I Often Get Asked About This Recipe
Q: Can I use a different type of flour?
Yes! You can use all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, or even gluten-free flour. Just make sure to use a 1:1 gluten-free blend if substituting.
Q: Can I make this without eggs?
Absolutely! This recipe is egg-free, making it perfect for those with allergies or dietary preferences. The moisture comes from milk and oil.
Q: Can I add mix-ins?
Of course! Try adding chocolate chips, nuts, or even a spoonful of peanut butter in the center for an extra treat.
Q: What kind of mug should I use?
Use a microwave-safe mug that holds at least 10–12 ounces to prevent overflow. A wider mug works best for even cooking.

Yes! Simply swap the milk for almond milk, oat milk, or any plant-based alternative.

Tips for the Perfect Brownie Mug
✔ Use a wide mug – A taller, narrower mug may result in uneven cooking.
✔ Don’t overcook – The brownie continues cooking after you remove it from the microwave. A slightly gooey center is perfect!
✔ Customize it – Add a sprinkle of sea salt, a scoop of Nutella, or a dollop of peanut butter before microwaving for extra decadence.
✔ Microwave times vary – Start with 60 seconds and add time in small increments if needed.
