Why do I love this microwave Nutella brownie?

Because, it is just the perfect size to satisfy my chocolate craving. Not a gigantic portion. I can't even begin to tell you how many times that I end up eating the entire dessert (or anything for that matter), just because it is there. 

This recipe takes care of that issue. Portion control for the win!!!

Main ingredients: 

Nutella - The best thing out of a jar. Ever. 

Milk - Preferably whole milk, but reduced fat is ok. Not fat free. It is a dessert after all!

All purpose flour - just a tablespoon

Cocoa powder - I used dutch processed

Salt - A pinch of salt goes a long way in dessert recipes (please note that salt is not counted as an ingredient).

How to make Nutella Mug Cake?

Step-1: Add Nutella, milk, all purpose flour and cocoa powder into a microwave safe mug or a 4-ounce ramekin.

Step-2: Stir well until thoroughly smooth.

Step-3: Cook in microwave for 90 seconds.

Step-4: Remove, let cool for few seconds, top brownie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and strawberries (optional).

Dig in.

Expert tips:

If using a fresh jar of Nutella, make sure to give a good stir before using.

Stir well - Due to thick consistency of Nutella, it takes a bit of stirring to be mixed in completely. So, make sure it is completely smooth.

Time - Some readers found that the cake wasn't cooked through in the mentioned time. So, upon further testing in different microwaves, we learned that some microwaves needed 5 to 25 seconds longer.

You can use any microwave safe coffee mug for the recipe. Just make sure that it not a big one, since this Nutella mug brownie no egg makes just one serving.

A 4-ounce ramekin works great for this measurement as well. It comes in handy when you want to serve this as a dessert.

If making in a ramekin - I used a 4 ounce ramekin which was perfect for this recipe and it was too small to stir ingredients in it. So, I preferred to mix all ingredients in a seperate bowl, transfer to the ramekin and cook.

Serving suggestions:

Nutella Brownie in a Mug is delicious as is but amazing with a scoop vanilla ice cream. Hot, deep dark chocolately Nutella mug cake recipe with cold vanilla ice cream is just too good that you have to taste to believe.
