Ingredients
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
Dash of salt
3 tablespoons milk (any kind)
1 tablespoon canola oil or melted butter
1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
1 teaspoon chocolate chips (any type)
Instructions
Lightly spray or grease a microwave-safe mug.
Add flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir well.
Pour in milk, oil, and vanilla. Stir until smooth and glossy.
Drop in chocolate chips and gently mix or sprinkle on top.
Microwave on high for 70–90 seconds. Check at 70 seconds.
Let rest for one minute before eating to finish cooking evenly.
Notes
Start with the shortest microwave time to avoid dryness.
Add a teaspoon of Nutella or peanut butter to the center before cooking for a molten surprise.
To make it dairy-free, use almond, soy, or oat milk and dairy-free chocolate chips.
For a healthy version, swap oil for applesauce and flour for oat flour.
