Gluten Free Brownies-in-a-Cup

These are for the days when you need a single serving (actually, it's more like 2) of a dessert, but don't want to heat up the kitchen, and you're preferably on your own. Or make baggies of the dry mix, to have ready for [older] kids to make their own.

Gluten Free Brownies-in-a-Cup

Dry mix:
2 T corn starch
1 T potato starch (or arrowroot starch)
1 T tapioca starch
2 T cocoa powder
3 T sugar, approximately
dash salt
1/4 t coffee, if desired

Melted together:
2 T butter, unsalted
2 T GF chocolate chips

Wet ingredients:
1 egg
1 T oil



How-to:

Make the dry mix. I put mine in a baggie, then roll it around to blend the ingredients well.

Melt the butter and chocolate chips together in the mug. My mug is a fairly large one, about 2 cups. You'll need this size or larger.

Add the wet ingredients to the mug, thoroughly beating the egg.

Gradually, add in the dry mix, thoroughly mixing until all is added and well-blended together. I use a fork for all of this.

Place in microwave for 1-1.5 minutes. More time = cake-like brownie. Less time = fudge brownie. It might have a "chocolate sauce" on the outside, even to the bottom of the cup. The only way to check for doneness is to put your fork in it.It won't come out clean, but it should feel solid.
