What You’ll Need
What You’ll Need
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 6 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons high-quality cocoa powder (such as Guittard cocoa rouge)
- ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- ½ cup (120ml) whole milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Preparation
- Add all the ingredients into the Anyday dish and mix well, making sure to clean the sides.
- Cover with the lid (knob lifted) and cook in the microwave for 4-5 minutes, or until the batter is bouncy to the touch and still sticky on the edges.
- Allow the brownie to cool completely before serving.
Serving suggestions & tips
- Substitute some of the milk with cold coffee for a richer brownie flavor.
- Sprinkle your favorite candy, nuts, or pretzels over the top for a sugary twist.
- Swirl melted white chocolate into the top of the brownie and add dehydrated raspberries or strawberries.
Recipe notes
- For better results, mix the batter in a separate bowl, spray the Anyday with vegetable spray and pour the batter in it before cooking.
- Don’t have high-quality cocoa powder? Replace the cocoa powder with melted chocolate chips.
- For a boxed mix, follow the instructions on the back of the box and pour the batter into the Anyday. For Large Shallow: Cook in the microwave for 4-5 minutes. For Medium Shallow: Split batter between two Medium Shallow Anyday dishes and cook in the microwave for 3-4 minutes. For Small Dishes: Divide batter among four Small Dishes and cook in the microwave for 2 minutes each.
- Microwave ovens vary, even with the same wattages. Adjust cooking times as needed.
