Brownies are just one of those desserts you need to eat fresh from the oven (or microwave). This brownie in a mug is perfect. Slightly gooey and moist with a rich chocolatey flavor are a must with any brownies. This is a perfect ‘no bake’ summer treat when you don’t want to turn on your oven. And it was a perfect little indulgence for me after watching the kids alone while my husband worked a 3 day weekend.
Do you remember gluten free pancakes gave me the confidence to create this blog and keep me and my family from starving? Well, my first (and worst ever) epic fail came in the form of gluten free egg free brownies. It was a bubbling oil slick of a mess that would never seem to set. Clearly it had emulsification problems that I finally remedied in my own from scratch version of gluten free fudgy brownies.
Fast forward to today and this recipe. No egg is required and you could be enjoying this in just 2 minutes. If you don’t have maple syrup on hand just use regular sugar. I’ve included 2 delicious ways to enjoy this. Make ONE large brownie for yourself in a mug or share by splitting the batter in TWO and pouring into cupcake liners inside a mug. Either way you make it, it’ll be g.o.n.e.
This recipe is also super awesome since not everyone in the family is allergic to wheat. It’s a no fail quick recipes for those last minute ‘need a safe treat for school’ days. Make someone you love their own special brownie! I actually saved the other one from this recipe and ate it the next day. Still so good. 🙂
- 3 Tbsp gluten free all purpose flour
- (or regular wheat flour)
- 2-3 Tbsp cocoa powder
- 2 Tbsp oil of choice (I used avocado oil)
- 2 Tbsp water or milk of choice
- 2 Tbsp maple syrup or sugar
- 1 Tbsp Enjoy Life Mini Chocolate Chips (optional)
- Combine all ingredients in a microwavable mug (dish) and mix.
- Microwave on high for 40 seconds for a super gooey center or 60 seconds for more of a firm texture.
- Mix all ingredients in a measuring cup. Pour half the batter in a cupcake liner placed inside a mug, repeat for other brownie.
- Microwave for 25 seconds for a gooey center or 30 seconds for perfect moist texture.

Hello, I’m Laura! Thanks for stopping by… I hope this blog will help you or someone you know and love. 
I do not use a microwave. Do You think i can use the oven?
Hi Arka! Yes, I think the oven would work but perhaps a regular pan of gluten free Vegan brownies might be more energy efficient. https://petiteallergytreats.com/fudgy-gluten-free-egg-free-brownies-vegan/. Just freeze extras.

this just saved my life haha, mi oven doesn’t work and I was craving brownie like crazy and found you recipe, thanks a lot!
Good morning! I was wondering if you could use honey as a sweetener? Thank you!
Hi Shannon,
Yes, feel free to use honey. You may need to decrease the overall liquid just by a little.
Yum! Looks super delicious! Quick Question: Can you use gluten free oats or oat flour in place of all purpose flour?? Thanks!
Hi Jessica,
You cand sub whichever gluten free flour you have on hand (oat flour included). The oat flour may make things a little more gooey and dense. Oh, darn. Extra gooey dense brownie, right? 😉 Enjoy!
