Good Mug Brownie Recipe?

Being a college student, I don't always want to bake a full batch of brownies when i want some chocolate, so I usually just head for my microwave and whip up a mug brownie. Since I've been gluten free, I've tried a couple different recipes I used to use, just with gluten-free flour instead. I tried the same recipes each twice, once with King Arthur gluten-free flour and once with Cup4Cup gluten-free flour. Each time, the brownie comes out not like a brownie at all but as some weird gooey mess. 

 

Does anyone know of a mug brownie recipe that is perhaps better suited for gluten-free flour? 

 

Thanks!

Pamela's makes an individual brownie mix.

And it is basically the best thing you will ever put in your mouth, by the way.  Haha.

 

I have made a mug cake, in a big mug or bowl, with pamelas pancake mix.  Just messing around one day but I have made it a few times since then.  My store stopped selling the individual brownie pouches :( So it is out of neccesity.  If I ordered the 12 pack online I would blow through them and my butt size would increase, I have no self control.

 

Basically what I did was, using a food scale, tried to make everything equal 100 grams because that is the size of the pamelas packet.  I started with 2 Tbsp. cocoa, some sugar, a drop of vanilla, and then I added the pancake mix (could use any flour blend here probably) up to 100grams.  Now, if you don't have a food scale you could probably do the same thing with... I dunno a 2/3 cup measure?  That' a rough estimate there.  

 

Then I added 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil, 2 Tbsp, water (like the pamelas pouch calls for), stir it up and taste for sweetness, then add a little more water to get to a brownie batter consistency.  Microwave for a minute, then in 10 second increments.

 

You can use less oil but it won't be fudgy like a brownie, it'll be more like a cake, especially with the evaporation in the microwave.  But still tasty :)  I will have to make it again some time this week and measure things out a little better as I go, and post a recipe.  I will try it with my KAF baking mix to see how that takes as well.

 

Edit to add:  if you aren't worried about it going stale, you can just get a brownie mix and experiment with that, just use equal parts water and veg oil to start with, and maybe a half cup of mix?  I also can't keep a whole thing of brownie mix around due to lack of self control, haha.

Okay so I took one for the team and tested my mug cake recipe with actual measurements.  This comes out in between cake and brownie.  I think if you added more fat it may be more fudgy like a brownie.

 

2 Tbsp. Cocoa Powder

2-3 Tbsp Sugar (I used 2, to make it real good use 3)

1/2 cup Pamelas pancake and baking mix

1 drop vanilla

2 Tbsp. Vegetable Oil

2 Tbsp + a few more drops water

 

Stir it all up in a big mug or a bowl, microwave 1 minute, then in 5 second increments until done.  Enjoy!   

I think this would probably work well with any gluten-free baking mix.  Maybe I will try it out with gluten-free bisquick or KAF baking mix next time to see how it tastes. :)

Mmmm, this sounds delicious! I'm definitely going to give this a try. Thanks for sharing!

      Intermittent Fatigue

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      There are thirteen essential vitamins:  eight B vitamins, four fat soluble vitamins, and Vitamin C.  They all work together.   If you are deficient in one, you are probably low in the other dozen.  Celiac Disease affects the absorption of all the vitamins, and the dozen or so essential minerals, as well.  Cobalamine Vitamin B12, needs Folate B9 and Pyridoxine B6 to function properly.  Pyridoxine B6 needs Riboflavin B2.  Vitamin C is needed to interact with B12 as well.  Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3 are also needed to provide the energy for these vitamins to function properly.  If one is also low in Folate and Pyridoxine, B12 Cobalamine is not going to be able to function properly and the body doesn't bother to absorb it.   Vitamin D is safe even in high doses.  Vitamin D3 should be supplemented.  Vitamin D2 is not as well utilized because it's synthetic, not a form the body can utilize easily.  Vitamin D must be activated by Thiamine Vitamin B1.  Insufficient Thiamine B1 will make one feel "dopey".  Thiamine is needed for brain function.  The brain uses as much energy just thinking as your muscles do while running a marathon.   Multivitamins do not contain sufficient amounts of essential vitamins to correct nutritional deficiencies.  Supplementing with ALL eight B vitamins, extra Thiamine (don't use the form thiamine mononitrate because it's not absorbed nor utilized well), Vitamin C and the four fat soluble vitamins will be more beneficial than just supplementing one or two vitamins by themselves. With sufficient amounts of essential vitamins, the immune system gets regulated and becomes less reactive to other things like pollen, molds and animal dander.  Sleep apnea is frequently found in Thiamine insufficiency.  The eight essential B vitamins are water soluble and easily excreted if not needed.  The B vitamins all work together.  Supplement them together.

      Intermittent Fatigue

      By Michelle Amirault-Packard · Posted

      He should definitely have his vitamin D and Vitamin B12 checked.  I have celiac and i always felt tired, sometimes i described it as dopy.My vitamin D is always low at times extremely low which can affect you. But  I also did some research and contacted my doctor to see if she checked my Vitamin B12 and She said she didn’t check my vitamin B-12 because a wasn’t Anemic and the normal protocol is , if you are not Anemic they don’t test for B-12.  She had no problem doing the test for me and it came back super super deficient . So I was given a shot of B12 once a week for 4 weeks and I give myself 1 shot intramuscular once a month now for 18 years. Once your B12 is low it can take a long time to bring it back up and sustain it. I think it took about 6 months to get a decent number and about a year to get it right. I do get my Vitamin D checked but not yearly more like every other year because it is a more expensive test and I tend to always be low. I do take a vitamin D supplement but I would talk to your doctor before taking a supplement to make sure you don’t take too much especially if you are already taking a multivitamin. Because too much D can also have some bad side effects.  Celiacs tend to be able to take a higher dose due to our digestive and malabsorption issues but always talk to your doctor before taking. Other things could be making him feel extremely tired  like new allergies like pollens, animals, molds etc.. sleep apnea is a huge one( cause extreme fatigue) and some medications. Just other things he can have checked! Good luck

      Dr. Reddy’s Sandoz sumatriptan gluten-free?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      I suggest you eliminate dairy from your son's diet next.  Cow's milk protein, Casein, can trigger tTg IgA antibody production, the same as gluten, because casein contains segments of proteins that resemble gluten protein segments.   Mucosal reactivity to cow's milk protein in coeliac disease https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1810502/ I cannot consume dairy products.  Some people find they can tolerate A2 dairy without a reaction. Corn is another frequently hard to tolerate food because the protein zein in corn also resembles the protein structure of gluten.   Do research in Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and TTFD thiamine.  Taking TTFD really can make a dramatic difference, speaking from personal experience. https://hormonesmatter.com/energy-deficiency-asd/ Keep us posted on your progress!

      Bowel issues

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It sounds like you're doing everything right with your gluten-free diet, yet still experiencing significant discomfort, which must be frustrating. Since your stool sample came back normal but symptoms persist, pushing for further investigation—like a colonoscopy or biopsy—is a reasonable next step. You might also want to discuss the possibility of additional conditions, such as IBS, microscopic colitis, or other inflammatory issues, with your doctor. Tracking your symptoms, diet, and triggers in detail could help identify patterns. Don’t hesitate to advocate for yourself—if your current doctor isn’t addressing your concerns, seeking a second opinion or a referral to a gastroenterologist could be beneficial. You’re right to seek answers, and I hope you find relief soon. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.
