MICROWAVE BROWNIE FOR ONE !!

 They say that you are not supposed to reward yourself with food...OK, I get that. But every once in a while, I crave something deeply chocolate, deeply warm and gooey. This recipe fills that bill perfectly and since it is only a single serving, there isn't a whole pan of guilty calories calling your name the rest of the day.

 Pure Heaven in minutes

I've been looking for a single serving brownie recipe like this for a long time because Hubby doesn't like brownies...go figure😉 

MICROWAVE BROWNIE FOR ONE
.
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/8 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
3 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon butter (room temperature)
1 tablespoons pecans (optional)
2 tablespoon chocolate chips (or 1 tablespoon mini chocolate chips)
.
In a small microwave safe bowl, mix everything together until smooth (mixture will be very thick). 
.
Now here comes the only "tricky part" of the recipe. Total cooking time in the microwave is 1 to 2 minutes depending on how powerful your microwave is. 

My microwave is a 1000 watt machine and it takes 1 minute 20 seconds. 

Watch your microwave  carefully the FIRST time you make this treat, so you don't over bake it (use the toothpick test for doneness the first time). After you do this first "trial run", you will know exactly how long to microwave the next mini brownies.

LET THE BAKED BROWNIE SIT FOR ABOUT A MINUTE BEFORE YOU EAT IT.
.
NOTE: I am embarrassed to say I know this recipe by heart now. Any flavored chocolate, peanut butter, white (etc.) chips will work well.
.
NOTE: The recipe doesn't say you have to, but I bake mine in a little ramekin that I spray with cooking spray.

ENJOY !!!
