Here is a very adaptable recipe for mug cake/brownie that I like to use for a quick sweet tooth fix. It's great with a dollop of ice cream or whipped cream on top!
1/4 cup cake or brownie mix
1 egg OR 1 vegan egg (see below)
2-4 TBSP water
handful of nuts, chocolate chips, fruit, whatever you've got
(optional) splash of vegetable oil
Vegan egg recipe: Mix 1 TBSP ground flax seed or whole chia seeds with 1.5 TBSP water. Let sit 5 minutes. Use in place of an egg in baking recipes.
Grease a mug with a quick spray of nonstick cooking spray, a wipe of butter, or a few drops of oil. Mix cake mix, egg, water, and optional oil. Mix in half of your nuts/chips/whatever. Pour into mug. Add reserved nuts/chips on top. Microwave on 40-50% for 1-3 minutes, checking frequently. If you used a vegan egg, leave the middle a little undercooked and it will taste like lava cake. Top with ice cream or whipped cream if you've got it. Eat with a spoon in front of your favorite show or curled up with a good book.
