Ingredients
- 1 1/10 oz cocoa powder
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp baking powder
- to taste chocolate chips
Instructions
- 1Gather all ingredients and a microwave‑safe mug or small bowl.
- 2Peel the banana and slice it into chunks for easier blending.
- 3Place the banana, cocoa powder, egg, and baking powder into a blender.
- 4Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth, about 20‑30 seconds.
- 5If you like extra texture, stir a handful of chocolate chips into the batter with a spoon.
- 6Lightly grease the microwave‑safe container with a tiny amount of oil or butter to prevent sticking.
- 7Pour the batter into the prepared container, smoothing the top with the back of a spoon.
- 8Microwave on high (approximately 900 W) for 2 minutes. Do not open the microwave during cooking.
- 9Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out with a few moist crumbs, not wet batter. If needed, microwave in 15‑second bursts.
- 10Allow the brownie to rest for 1‑2 minutes; it will continue to set as it cools.
- 11Optionally, dust with a pinch of powdered sugar or drizzle with a quick chocolate sauce before serving.
