Brownie in a M&Ms Cup

So, four days ago I had a craving. For a brownie.

You know, those cravings? The ones you try to ignore but no matter what everything begins to look like a brownie? Well yeah, I ignored it for a day. And it only got worse


Then I tried to buy one, that was a disaster. Took two bites out of it and threw it away. I didn't want to bake a whole batch...because then I might eat a whole batch.

Wait, what? Bake just one? In 60 seconds? Seriously? That's a brilliant idea!

So, that's 4 tbsp of flour, 4 tbsp of sugar, 2 tbsp of oil, 2 tbsp of cocoa powder, 2 tbsp of water, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt mixed with the flour. Looking good so far. Now we need a cup.

Meet my favourite cup. Hi cup.

And my favourite M&M. You know, despite everyone thinking pink is my favourite colour, I actually prefer green. My walls are green. This bed sheet i'm lying on while typing this is green. My towel is green. Okay, you get the point.

Pink is second.

Okay let's mix the water with the oil, and add in 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

Okay, add the sugar and the cocoa powder. Now mix! You can use a fork, that's what I did.

 Now the flour and the salt. Get ready for it.

PLEASE DO NOT EAT THIS LIKE THIS. Well, technically, you could, since there are no raw eggs or so...but come on we only have to wait like a little bit to cook it! Hold on!

And because I'm greedy Just for kicks I added in some chocolate chips. Yes, I opened an entire container of chocolate chips to get a tablespoon. The craving was that bad.

Into the microwave you go! Say a little prayer that it doesn't explode everywhere.

I put mine on 75 seconds. Next time I'll do only 60 seconds though, for a more fudgy product.

Come to Mama.

Can I just take a minute while this is cooling to admit that I ate this WAY too quick, burnt myself and forced myself to be patient. Have you ever smelt brownies baking? Yes, well imagine that happening in less than a minute. I couldn't wait, literally.

Let's dig in.

This was actually, like, really good.
Really really good.
Maybe not bake in your oven amazing, but it only missed that by 15 seconds literally. The next time I do this will be at 60 seconds. This result however was (when I finally waited for it to cool) chewy, and all the delicious flavours of a brownie. Oh yes.

She's also very happy.
