No tray, no waiting for a whole batch, nothing to wash but a mug and a fork. The trick is pulling it out while the middle still looks unfinished.

What a grown-up does
Lifting the mug out — it gets much hotter than the brownie inside it
Why that works
A microwave heats the water inside the batter, not the mug. Once that water boils away the crumb has nothing left to keep it soft, which is why twenty extra seconds is the difference between a brownie and a hockey puck.
