> made only half the recipe.



> Microwave Chocolate Mug Brownie



> 4 tablespoons flour

> 4 tablespoons sugar

> 2 tablespoons cocoa

> Dash of salt

> 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

> 2 tablespoons water

> 1/4 teaspoon vanilla

>

> Whisk together dry ingredients in a large coffee mug. Add oil, water and

> vanilla and mix thoroughly.

>

> Microwave on high for 1 to 1-1/2 minutes. It should not be quite set in

> the center. Cool a couple of minutes and eat right out of the mug.
