Oven baking option
I love to cook this chocolate mug brownie in my microwave because it takes only 90 seconds. However, I reckon that this is not the healthiest way to cook food. So, I tested the recipe in the oven too to give you both option. First, use an oven proof ramekin, I am using 9 cm (3.5 inches) diameter ramekin. Next, bake at 180C (350F) for 8-12 minutes. Finally, cool for 10 minutes in the ramekin as it is burning hot when out of the oven. Enjoy directly in the ramekin.
Mug brownies toppings ideas
There is plenty ways to enjoy this vegan mug brownie recipe and those are my favorite toppings. I recommend adding the toppings before baking your brownie
- Chocolate chips – add an extra teaspoon of vegan dark chocolate chips on top. It will melt in the oven and add the most delicious texture.
- Raspberries and chocolate chips -sprinkle few raspberries along with the chocolate chips. You can use fresh or frozen raspberry it doesn’t need to be defrosted. Raspberry and chocolate is the most delicious combo.
- Peanut butter – 1 or 2 teaspoons of peanut butter, drizzled on top.
You can also serve your vegan mug brownie with a scoop of dairy free vanilla ice cream or some whipped coconut cream.

- Place the mug or ramekin in the center of your microwave, and microwave on high (800W) for 90 seconds. Otherwise bake in the oven at 180°C (350°F) for 8-12 minutes or until the brownie is set and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out with little to no crumbs.
- Use oven-mitts to remove the mug from the microwave or oven.

Hi, I’m new to vegan baking and this came out PERFECTLY! The family liked it so much, I need to make more. Please provide proportions for a larger volume, or should I just double up these volumes.
Thank you so much for this recipe.
Such an easy recipe because you have to use a tablespoon!! Comes out lovely and perfect size. I do always add a little extra splash of milk to make it more of a “brownie batter” texture but it’s amazing!
Hi! I am a little confused about how you came to 210kcal per brownie, could you break it down?Thank you!

Delicious, the whole family loved it!
Thanks for the lovely picture! I love the raspberries you added on top, sounds fabulous! XOXO Carine
perfect recipe! I used hemp oil since we were out of canola oil and olive oil isn’t a neutral tasting choice, but hemp oil is kind of gross imo so I wouldn’t recommend it for baking sweet stuff
