Microwave brownie

Well, it turns out that starting a new job means that I've been kinda busy and haven't had a chance to get back into baking yet. This update's not really a proper one either - but I saw this recipe for microwave brownies and thought it was worth a shot.

Microwave Brownie
Ingredients

• 4tbsp Plain flour
• 4tbsp Caster sugar
• 2tbsp Cocoa powder
• 2tbsp Olive oil
• 3tbsp Water

Method

1. Mix all the ingredients up in a mug until homogenous.
2. Microwave on full power for ~1min40.

So, what's it like? Well, the texture's about right, but it's not nearly chocolatey enough, and the olive oil gives it a slightly weird flavour. It's definitely got potential, but I think it probably needs more cocoa powder, less flour and a switch to sunflower oil. And maybe some chocolate chips too! But it was definitely worth the punt and probably will be worth refining into a better brownie too.
