I’ve tried just about every “brownie in a mug” recipe out there on a google search (at least 7-8 others!) and keep coming back to this one. It really is my favorite. I substitute the coconut oil for regular oil just because I don’t have any coconut oil in the house... and it turns out really good each time. Thanks for a keeper recipe!
