This 60 Second Brownie is the fastest way to get a warm, delicious brownie for dessert or an afternoon pick-me-up. It only requires a few ingredients!
Do you have a certain time of the day when, as a mom, you just need a little pick me up? For me that time comes in the afternoon. I like to take a little break and have some time for myself where I accomplish nothing.
It doesn’t need to be a long time…often it is only 10 minutes but it helps me recharge! I love to have a little snack and browse through some of my magazines.
One of my go-to treats that I’ve been making for years is a 60 Second Brownie For One.
Here is what I used to make the brownie:
Packaged Brownie Mix (I used sugar free but any will work)
Water, Non-stick spray, Tablespoon
Small Microwavable Container (a coffee cup works too)
I sprayed the container with non-stick cooking spray, added 2 tablespoons of brownie mix, poured in 1 tablespoon of water and mixed it with a fork. Then, I put it in the microwave for 60 seconds and have a delicious, warm brownie…for one!
I like to top my brownies with a little whipped cream and a few mini chocolate chips.
What do you do for an afternoon pick me up?

Utterly failed – didn’t cook in 60 seconds or even 3 minutes. I used Ghirardelli brownie mix fyi.

I’m sorry to hear that! I’ve only made it with Pillsbury Brownie Mix or Betty Crock Brownie Mix. But from looking at the boxes, it appears that the Ghiradelli mix calls for a similar amount of ingredients. So it should give similar results. I’ll have to buy a box and test it. The other variables are microwaves (some are more powerful) and cooking containers (some heat up more than others). In the meantime, if you want to try it again, I would suggest adding less water and see if that works.
