Microwave Brownies

5-Minute Brownies

1/2 cup butter or margarine melted in the microwave
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup cocoa
1/2 cup flour
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1/4 tsp. salt

Grease a glass baking dish and coat with sugar. Bake in microwave on high power for 5 minutes.

Note: if you want to add a handful of mini chips or nuts — add 2 Tbsp. corn starch to your dry ingredients. This will help to keep them from all settling to the bottom.


Directions:
Note -- I like mine a little more cooked than my microwave cooks them... so I go for 6 minutes. They taste best the second day -- but usually don't last that long.
