A friend of mine found this first on a recipe site, but I can't for the life of me remember where, so here's the transcribed and reiterated version, sans attribution.
Dry Ingredients:
4 tbsp flour
4 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp cocoa powder
1/2 tsp baking powder
dash of salt
Mix dry ingredients together in a bowl.
Add:
3 tbsp water
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1/4 tsp vanilla
Stir until a cake-batter-like texture is achieved, and no dry flour clumps remain, but do not over-stir.
Microwave for 90 seconds.
Optionally, split batter into two mugs, and microwave each for 45s.
Tips:
Do not forget the salt! It will not work without at least some salt.
Do not use olive oil! Unless you're a fan of olive flavoured brownies.
