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!

      Potential celiac need advice

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.
