1/4 cup water
2 tsp vegetable oil
2 drops vanilla essence

Method:
1. Place Flour, sugar, cocoa, salt and cinnamon in a microwave safe mug. Stir with a fork or spoon to mix well. There should be no lumps at all.
2.Add oil,water & vanilla essence to the cup and stir until mixture is smooth & no lumps.
3.Place in microwave and heat on high until the mixture is cooked through, about 1 minutes and 40 seconds for a 1000 watt microwave.
4. If you don't know the power level in microwave, just start with 60 seconds and increase until the brownie is done. It should still be moist when cooked through,not dry.

Sesame Gold Coin

Sesame Gold Coin (Triangle)

Sesame Gold Coin is a recipe for those who loves bread with tea or in breakfast. Adding butter to the bread and eating them creates a guilt of eating fat directly. So here is one more healthy snack with the brown bread which is baked and having veggies too. Sesame seeds are also very good for health. We can add the sesame seeds in the mixture too or we can just keep them to sprinkle from the up.

While making these bread the idea was coming in my mind is i want to make gold coin but i don't want to waste the bread or the filling so i chose the triangle shape. Hope it is ok for you to call them Coin and showing triangle. But if you want to make them round shaped then just toast the bread for 2 minutes and you have to cut them in round shape with the help of the cutter before putting the filling on it. After that you can bake it.

So here i present supperrr delicious and yummy gold coins with the detailed recipe.

6 Brown Bread Slices

4. Spread some potato mixture on the bread slices and press. Sprinkle sesame seeds. Press. Bake at 180 degree for 12-15 minutes till the bread turns crisp from the under side.
5. With the help of the cutter, give them shape as you want. As these are called gold coins so we should give them round shape. But to avoid wastage i gave them triangle shape.
