This Weight Watchers Brownie Mug Cake recipe uses 2 ½ tablespoons of granulated sugar replacement (a 1:1 substitute) and 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour as the base. For rich chocolate flavor, you’ll need 4 ¼ teaspoons of unsweetened cocoa powder. It incorporates 4 ¼ teaspoons of melted light butter substitute and 3 tablespoons of unsweetened plain almond milk (or your preferred milk). Add ¼ teaspoon of vanilla extract for flavor, and optionally, include mini chocolate chips to taste for extra indulgence.
Step 1: Combine Dry Ingredients

In a large microwave-safe mug, use a fork to mix all the dry ingredients, breaking up any lumps.

Fold in the liquid ingredients, mixing gently to avoid overmixing. Ensure no pockets of flour remain. Optionally, add chocolate chips to the batter or sprinkle them on top (adjust WW points if adding).
Step 3: Microwave and Serve

Microwave for 60 seconds and check the cake. If the center is not cooked through, microwave in 8–10 second increments until done. Serve immediately.
Variations and Substitutions

For a richer version of the brownie mug cake, consider adding mix-ins like chocolate chips, peanut butter swirl, chopped nuts, butterscotch chips, or sprinkles. To save points, try swapping the light butter substitute with applesauce, or split the dessert between two people. Use your preferred milk type and top the brownie with a scoop of ice cream, fat-free Cool Whip, or whipped cream. Fresh fruit, like chopped strawberries or bananas, is also a great addition.
Tips and Tricks

When making Weight Watchers Brownie Mug Cake, avoid overmixing the batter to prevent a gummy or tough texture. Use a large mug to allow the brownie to rise without spilling over. Cook it just until it’s set—soft is fine, but it shouldn’t be liquidy or overly wet. Microwave times can vary, so check for doneness before stopping at 60 seconds. If it’s easier, mix the batter in a separate bowl before transferring it to the mug for cooking.
