Smart 3-Minute Brownies

I bumped into this "smart" 3 minute brownies on loled.net, so I thought of giving it a try - given that it will only take few minutes, so how hard can it be!

Turns out, it was easy, quick and d-e-licious!!

Ingredients

• 4 tbsp all purpose flour
• 5 tbsp sugar
• 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa
• 1 egg
• 3 tbsp powdered milk (go with low fat)
• 3 tbsp oil 
• Chopped walnuts (optional)
• 3/4 cup of water (1 cup=240 mL)
• 1 mug

Preparation:

• Mix flour, sugar and cocoa together in the mug
• Mix in 1 egg thoroughly
• Mix the powdered milk with water separately then pour it in the mug (or you can mix the powdered milk with the flour, sugar and cocoa then add water - your call)
• Pour oil and mix well
• Add chopped nuts
• Put in the microwave for 3 minutes on maximum power
• Watch it rise and settle in the mug, then spoon your warm brownies out!

You don't have to be an experience cook to make it happen - deliciously if I might add. Best thing of all is portion-size control! No brownies left overs to stuff my face with later on. I just baked one mug of brownies and shared it with my mom and sister. It could actually be a smart idea if you have people over where each one will get to have his own small brownie. Just go with fancier microwaveable cups - not a home mug like mine.
