Nesquik® Brownie in a Mug Recipe

This is a hard one for me to rate and review: 1) I cooked it 20 seconds less time than stated, so just watch it. 2) I found this microwave brownie to be very delicate. It IS a mug recipe, but I wanted to turn it out and it crumbled all to pieces. Probably not a problem if eaten in the mug. 3) This recipe calls for no added sugar. It is very minimally sweet. I would have given this 3 stars, but when I offered it to my grandson who doesn't eat a lot of sweets, he gobbled it right up and thought it was great. So, 4 stars it is!

This is by far the best mug brownie recipe I've tried! (and ive tried like a million of them, somehow something always manages to come out wrong) I added brown sugar (1/4 cup) and replaced the oil with the same quantity of butter(but only because i dont like using oil on cakes). It cooked perfectly in 2 mins and the texture was great too.

So simple and quick! I loved how it turned out and there was less measuring than other mug brownie recipes. I used vegetable oil instead of olive as a personal preference. I also added a heavy drizzle of chocolate syrup to the mix to sweeten it up a little because some of the reviews said it wasn't very sweet. This is the best mug brownie I have had! Satisfied my warm, gooey, chocolate craving. Oh, and I only cooked it for 1 minute since I prefer less done and there isn't an egg to worry about.

This is so delicious. 😋 😍 this is the third time I made this. I use milk and butter instead of water and oil that some have suggested and still very good. I would also use the same ingredients to make a chocolate sauce on top. So happy now I can have a brownie anytime. Thank you for this.

So i used milk instead of water and followed the rest as instructed and it came out perfect. I dont understand how people are messing this up, dry ingredients first then wet, mix till no lumps and smooth throw it in the microwave for like a minute 40-55 and boom

Absolutely Loved this recipe! I added Cookies and Cream Ice Cream on top and it taste amazing! I will be saving this recipe for the next time I want a brownie!

It came out ok but it needed a little extra taste so I added. 1 1/2 teaspoon of sugar and it tasted like a regular brownie

I really liked it. I had low expectations after reading some of the reviews, but I made it anyway since I was craving a brownie/chocolate really bad. I did what one of the reviews said and cooked it for 1 min. 35 sec. and thank you for the tip or else it would have burned. I also added 1-1/2 tbs of sugar and 1 tbs of Nutella, and I think that's what saved the brownie from not being sweet enough. I love sweets so if you're not a sweet tooth person, go easy on the sugar.

I made this exactly how the directions stated, and I loved it! I did add some milk chocolate chips on top right after I took it out of the microwave, which added the perfect amount of sweetness. I think this is definitely a hit or miss with some people since everyone’s microwaves can be different. But I watched mine and checked it every 45 secs and when it seemed done I took it out after 2 ish mins.

This was the best thing I've ever made in a mug. I think the lack of egg really helped to avoid that spongey weird mug cake texture. The NesQuick powder gave it an extra chocolately and rich flavor. I swapped the olive oil for the same amount of melted butter. So so so good.

I use this as a base recipe. Here are some changes I've made and enjoy: Coconut oil instead of olive oil is great. I tend to add some cinnamon. Adding texture like chocolate chips or almonds goes a long way. If not made well, it can come out weird so try to stay true to proportions. I mix dry ingredients first then add in watery stuff. It takes awhile to incorporate and will not be a loose consistency.

turned rubbery....tasted like my kitchen sponge...I was so excited...and hungry...😔

Yes I added almonds I placed whole ones in the blender and added them it came out fabulous

its amazing, u guys should try it!

There's way too much oil, it's not good. for the texture and tasteless (except for the olive oil that we taste)

Even my picky friends were impressed.

I followed directions exactly and thought it was pretty good for the ingredients used, I tried it then added some milk to cool it down faster which made it seem even fudgie, will definitely make again but maybe with a more neutral oil.

Tasteless and very dry.. maybe the cook time is too long?

Easy quick treat. Works perfectly 😊

Bland taste and bad texture. I would recommend adding additional things to spice it up.
