Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons (≈ 23 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons (≈ 15 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3 tablespoons (≈ 2530 g) brown sugar
  • A pinch of salt
  • 4 tablespoons (≈ 60 ml) milk (or plant-based milk)
  • 2 tablespoons (≈ 30 ml) vegetable oil (or melted butter)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons (≈ 30 g) chocolate chips (plus more for topping if desired)

Instructions

  1. Use a 10–12 oz microwave-safe mug.
  2. In the mug, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, brown sugar, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. Add milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until the batter is smooth.
  4. Fold in chocolate chips and optionally top with a few extra.
  5. Microwave on high for 60 seconds. If still wet in the center, microwave in 10–20 second intervals until set but gooey.
  6. Let sit for 1 minute to cool slightly before enjoying warm.

Notes

  • Use almond, oat, or soy milk for a dairy-free or vegan version.
  • Melted coconut oil adds a subtle coconut flavor.
  • For extra richness, stir in nut butter or top with sea salt or powdered sugar.
  • Adjust microwave time based on your wattage — undercooked is better than dry.
  • Best eaten immediately for optimal texture.
