Brownie in a Mug

This is my first attempt at a "brownie in a mug" and while most of the recipes I found were made without an egg, I felt it deserved one... this recipe has more of a cake like consistency but it's amazing served with chocolate syrup and ice cream. Prefect for a quick 5 minute make chocolate fix! Enjoy!
