Now I would like to blame my lack of ability to cook on being a student but unfortunately I'm just not talented in that area. I was asked to get involved with The Co-Op in their Food Hack campaign and it seemed perfect for me. The reason Co-Op are doing this campaign is because of their amazing 10% off for all students who have an NUS card, who doesn't love discounted food?! The Co-Op had sent out a hamper of different ingredients for me to create a food hack which is basically a quick alternative to creating yummy food. I created brownie in a mug, delicious and barely an mess - perfect! The ingredients I used are below:

2 tablespoons of melted butter/margarine

2 tablespoons of water

a pinch of salt

2 tablespoons of flour (plain)

2 tablespoons of cocoa powder

2 tablespoons of sugar

Now I'm not the best cook however below is how I made my brownie in a mug and it actually came out ok to my suprise! If at any stage the mixture because really difficult to mix just add a tablespoon of water. 

Let me know if you try this and how it came out!
