This 60 Second Brownie is the fastest way to get a warm, delicious brownie for dessert or an afternoon pick-me-up. It only requires a few ingredients!
Do you have a certain time of the day when, as a mom, you just need a little pick me up? For me that time comes in the afternoon. I like to take a little break and have some time for myself where I accomplish nothing.
It doesn’t need to be a long time…often it is only 10 minutes but it helps me recharge! I love to have a little snack and browse through some of my magazines.
One of my go-to treats that I’ve been making for years is a 60 Second Brownie For One.
Here is what I used to make the brownie:
Packaged Brownie Mix (I used sugar free but any will work)
Water, Non-stick spray, Tablespoon
Small Microwavable Container (a coffee cup works too)
I sprayed the container with non-stick cooking spray, added 2 tablespoons of brownie mix, poured in 1 tablespoon of water and mixed it with a fork. Then, I put it in the microwave for 60 seconds and have a delicious, warm brownie…for one!
I like to top my brownies with a little whipped cream and a few mini chocolate chips.
What do you do for an afternoon pick me up?

Hi
does the brownie mix have to be sugar free for the brownie in a mug??
Tonia says
Hi Crystal,
You can use regular brownie mix! It doesn’t have to be sugar-free.

no but just a tip instead of a mug use a microwave safe item

Some mugs are microwave safe it’ll have a symbol on the bottom if it is
Dana says
Great. TIP: if you are using a cheaper brand of brownie mix, try adding some instant coffee granules OR cocoa powder to this recipe to make it more chocolatey.
Dee says
Have you ever tried baking this on a toaster oven?
Phyllis says
This was a delicious treat! I added just a few chopped walnuts, a couple of chocolate chips, a little oil, and doubled the recipe on my second try…delish.
