This quick treat is only 100 calories for a fudgy mug brownie!
This is how you can get yourself a delicious single brownie when you need a small treat, and don’t want to overdo it! This single serving, 100 calorie mug brownie recipe will only take minutes to get ready and it’s so simple!
I’ve measured out brownie mixes, and cake mixes to see how much I could eat and still stay within my calories for the day. For the brownies and the cake mix, 2 tablespoons is equal to 100 calories.
SO, that makes it easy to make a 100 calorie mug cake, or brownie!
This little portion control treat hack has saved me so many times when I want a treat, but I also don’t want a whole pan of brownies taunting me the rest of the day.
The one warning about this brownie.. you should only make it when you want to eat it RIGHT AWAY! There is no, “saving this for later”. No, making ahead and bringing it to the office. It’s delicious when it’s HOT And right out of the microwave. It’s chocolatey, fudgy, and delicious.
But, quickly, it will turn hard and rubbery. So, don’t wait around. Eat it hot and enjoy!

What brownie mix did you use? Do I have to use one that is just add water or do I select a box that normally requires egg and oil?
I’ve used several different brownie mixes, and they always turn out. It doesn’t have to be water only mix!
Anything chocolate!
