Ingredients
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 pinch salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 tablespoons milk
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon chocolate chips
Instructions
1. Add flour, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt to a microwave-safe mug and mix well.
2. Add vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until the batter is smooth and no dry streaks remain.
3. Fold in chocolate chips, and sprinkle a few on top if desired.
4. Microwave on high for 60 to 75 seconds, until the top is just set and still soft in the center.
5. Let cool for 1 to 2 minutes, then enjoy straight from the mug or with a scoop of ice cream.
Notes
Use a large (12 oz or more) microwave-safe mug to prevent overflow.
Microwave strength varies—start with 60 seconds and add more time only if needed.
To enhance the chocolate flavor, add a pinch of instant coffee granules to the batter.
