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!

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      By cristiana · Posted

      Since I've been a member of this forum,  I've seen some people write that they have not been able to tolerate corn, and others nightshades - tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, and peppers (including bell peppers, chili peppers, and paprika).    However, intolerances can be short term, just while you are healing.    So bear this in mind if you start dropping certain foods from your diet - you may well be able to eat them again once you are healed.

      Welcome to the forum, @Izelle! Normally, the diagnosis of celiac disease involves two stages.  The first stage involves a simple blood test that looks for antibodies that are pretty specific to celiac disease. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that attacks the lining of the small bowel which produces antibodies that can be detected in the blood with tests specifically designed for this purpose. There are a number of these tests that can be run. Some are more specific for celiac disease and thus more reliable than others. The two most common antibody tests ordered by physicians when diagnosing celiac disease are the "total IGA" and the "tTG-IGA" test. At least these two should always be ordered. Here is a an article outlining the subject matter of celiac antibody tests:  If the tTG-IGA levels are 10x normal then it is becoming common practice in some countries to grant a celiac diagnosis on the bloodwork alone. The second stage involves an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining to look for the damage to the small bowel lining typically caused by celiac disease's inflammatory process over time. This is usually done in response to one or more positives from the blood antibody testing and constitutes confirmation of the antibody testing to eliminate the possibility of false positives.

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      Thank you for saying that. That doctor diagnosed me with IBS with no follow-up so the relationship is already concluded. If I pursue diagnosis further I'll request someone else.

      Hey everyone. Thanks again for your suggestions. I wanted to give an update and ask for some follow-up suggestions from you all.  So I did go through all of my food items and stopped eating things that were “gluten free” and switched over to the “certified gluten free” ones (the ones with the g symbol). I also stayed away from restaurants except once and there I ordered something raw vegan and gluten free hoping for the best. I also stayed away from oats and soy and dairy. I've also been increasing my vitamin B complex. I've been doing this for about 12 days and while I know that's not that long, I'm still getting sick. Sometimes having diarrhea. Sometimes getting headaches and having necklaces. Sometimes waking up feeling horrible brain fog. I did go to my GI doc and they did a blood test and found my TtG-IgA was in the negative range (and a lower number than I'd had before). I also had normal levels of CRP. My stool showed no elevation of calprotectin and no pathogens. My GI doc said the symptoms could be related to a gluten exposure or to IBS. I'm keeping a food diary to see if I can narrow down whats going on. I know I have good days and bad days and Im trying to isolate what makes a good day versus a bad day. Generally so far it looks like if it eat something super cautious like raw vegetables that I chopped myself into a salad and almonds, im fine but if I eat something more complex including, say, chicken and rice (even if packaged and certified gluten free or made by me with gluten free ingredients), it may not go so well. I may end up with either a headache, neck tension, brain fog, and/or diarrhea that day or the morning after. Any other thoughts or suggestions? I am planning to start tracking my foods again but I wanted to do it in more detail this time (maybe down to the ingredient level) so are there any common ingredients that celiacs have issues with that you all know of that I should track? I've got dairy, oats, soy, eggs, corn, peas, lentils on my “watch list”. Other things I should add? I'm hoping if I track for another two weeks I can maybe pin down some sensitivities. Appreciate the help and tips. Thank you so much!!
