1½ tablespoons vegetable oil (or melted butter or coconut oil)
3 tablespoons milk
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional toppings: ice cream, whipped cream, powdered sugar, berries

1. In a microwave-safe mug, mix sugar, flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
2. Stir in chocolate chips.
3. Add oil, milk, and vanilla; mix until smooth.

Notes
Use a 12–16 oz mug to prevent overflow.
Don’t overcook — the brownie will continue to cook as it rests.
For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free flour blend.
Add peanut butter, Nutella, or cinnamon for flavor variations.
