So I'm feeling rather like Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde this week.  But instead fighting my cravings, tonight I've decided to feed the monster.

Overall Recipe Difficulty:Easy

Preparation Time:1 minute

Cooking Time:1 minute

• Serves:1

Ingredients:

• 2 Tablespoons Water, room temperature
• 2 Tablespoons Butter, room temperature

1. 1

   In a large coffee mug, add Water, Butter and Vanilla Essence. Stir well.

2. 2

   Add Sugar, Unsweetened Cocoa Powder, Plain Flour and Table Salt. Stir well until uniformly mixed.

3. 3

   Microwave for 60 to 90 seconds. Center of brownie should be slightly molten.

4. 4

   Enjoy with a spoon. Careful brownie will be hot. Good served with a tablespoon or two of vanilla ice cream. I used a 1100 watt microwave. 60 seconds makes a molten center brownie. 75 seconds makes a uniformly cooked brownie.

5. You will notice there is no pic of my actual brownie in a mug and that my friend is because I ate the darn thing before I decided to write this post!
6. I had mine with a big dollop of vanilla bean gelato on top.
7. Totally hit the spot.
8. I did find it to be more or a pudding consistency than a brownie, but it didn't matter because it was delish. 
9. Even hubby who is not a fan of warm desserts at all smashed his down and said it was like something out of Masterchef!
