# What You’ll Need:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
02 - 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
03 - 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
04 - 1/8 teaspoon baking powder
05 - Pinch of salt

→ Wet Ingredients

10 - 1 tablespoon chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, etc.)
11 - 1 tablespoon mini marshmallows
12 - 1 tablespoon sprinkles
13 - 1 tablespoon shredded coconut
14 - 1 tablespoon caramel pieces or toffee bits

# How to Make It:

01 - Add all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt to a microwave-safe mug (minimum 10 ounces). Mix thoroughly to distribute ingredients evenly.
02 - Pour milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract into dry mixture. Stir until fully combined and batter is smooth without visible dry pockets.
03 - Gently fold in your preferred selection of chaos add-ins, such as chocolate chips, nuts, or marshmallows, ensuring even distribution throughout the batter.
04 - Microwave the mug on high for 60 to 90 seconds, until the top appears just set. Do not overcook; the brownie will continue to firm as it cools.
05 - Allow the mug brownie to cool for 1 minute. Enjoy directly from the mug for best texture.
