What Is A Vegan Mug Brownie?
A vegan mug brownie is a fudgy brownie recipe cooked in your microwave in under 90 seconds. It’s the mug version of my Vegan Brownies and the brownie version of my Chocolate Mug Cake or Vegan Chocolate 90-Second Mug Cake. Since it is a vegan recipe, it’s also egg-free, dairy-free, and bonus, this one is refined sugar-free!
How To Make Vegan Mug Brownie
Where are my chocolate lovers? I can’t see better than this fudgy chocolate mug brownie to fix a chocolate craving. It is my go-to recipe when the kids and hubby request a chocolate cake, and I don’t feel like baking for hours. Plus, if you don’t have a microwave, you can also bake this recipe in the oven.

Ingredients
Whole-Wheat Flour – You can use classic wholewheat flour, white wheat flour, or gluten-free all-purpose flour. Coconut Sugar – Any crystal sweetener would work such as coconut sugar, brown sugar, or sugar-free crystal sweetener (erythritol or monk fruit blend). Unsweetened Cocoa Powder Almond Milk – Unsweetened almond milk or the plant-based milk of your choice. Coconut Oil – melted or vegetable oil of your choice (sunflower, canola). You can also use nut-butters for healthier, oil free option including almond butter or peanut butter. Vegan Dark Chocolate Chips
Oven Baking Option
I love to cook this chocolate mug brownie in my microwave because it takes only 90 seconds. However, I reckon that this is not the healthiest way to cook food. So, I tested the recipe in the oven too to give you both options. First, use an oven-proof ramekin. I am using a 9-cm (3.5-inch) diameter ramekin. Next, bake at 350°F (180°C) for 8-12 minutes. Finally, cool for 10 minutes in the ramekin as it is burning hot when out of the oven. Enjoy it in the ramekin.
Vegan Mug Brownie Toppings
There are plenty of ways to enjoy this vegan mug brownie recipe. The following are my favorite toppings. I recommend adding the toppings before baking your brownies:
Chocolate chips – add an extra teaspoon of vegan dark chocolate chips on top. It will melt in the oven and add the most delicious texture. Raspberries and chocolate chips -sprinkle a few raspberries along with the chocolate chips. You can use fresh or frozen raspberry. It doesn’t need to be defrosted. Raspberry and chocolate are the most delicious combo. Peanut butter – 1 or 2 teaspoons of peanut butter, drizzled on top. Whipped Cream – add a dollop of my Vegan Whipped Cream.
You can also serve your vegan mug brownie with a scoop of dairy-free vanilla ice cream or some whipped coconut cream.
Storage Instructions
You can prepare the mug of brownie batter 24 hours before and store it in the fridge. If you bake your mug brownie in the microwave, enjoy it within an hour to enjoy all the flavor.
