This single-serving treat comes together in one mug, with melted butter and chocolate chips forming a rich, glossy base before cocoa powder and a pinch of salt deepen the flavor. An egg yolk and a splash of vanilla give the batter that fudgy, dense texture you want from a good brownie, and a few extra chocolate chips scattered on top melt into gooey pockets as it cooks. The whole thing goes from mixing bowl to microwave to spoon in just a few minutes, with edges that set while the center stays soft and molten. It's an easy way to satisfy a chocolate craving without turning on the oven or making a big batch, and it's a solid pick for a gluten free dessert fix whenever you need something fast and personal.

Place the butter and 2 tbsp chocolate chips in a 12 oz microwave-safe mug. Microwave on high in 20-second bursts, stirring between each, until the butter and chocolate are fully melted and smooth, about 40–60 seconds total.
Add the sugar, egg yolk, and vanilla extract to the mug and stir vigorously with a fork until the mixture is uniform and slightly thickened, about 30 seconds.
