Variations:

I use Whole Wheat Pastry flour to make it a bit nutritious.

Mounds: add 1-2 tablespoons chocolate chips and a sprinkling of sweetened flaked coconut on top of cooked brownie.

Peanut Butter Swirl: add 1-2 tbsp creamy peanut butter into mix before microwaving, or add 1 tablespoons on top of brownie after its cooked.(I use chunky. Smooth peanut butter doesn't have has much fiber in it compared to chunky)
I tried Nutella till I noticed

Berry Jam: top cooked brownie with 1-2 tablespoons melted berry jam (strawberry, raspberry or blackberry is best. Just heat in microwave until melted then pour over brownie).
S'mores: top cooked brownie with mini marshmallows and graham cracker crumbs
