Microwave brownies

This easy, breezy recipe takes just 5 minutes, thanks to your trusty microwave. Mix together 1/4 cup flour, 1/4 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder a pinch of salt and a dash of cinnamon in a microwave-safe mug. Add 1/4 cup water, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil and a drop or 2 of vanilla extract. Stir with a spoon until the mixture is smooth. Microwave on high for about 1 minute and 45 seconds. If your microwave is particularly powerful, start with 1 minute and cook for additional time, if necessary. The brownie should be nice and moist but still completely cooked through.
