Ingredients
Scale
- 4 tablespoons (30 grams) all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons (25 grams) granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- A small pinch of salt
- 3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) milk
- 1 tablespoon (14 grams) unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons (30 grams) chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a 12 ounce microwave-safe mug, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
- Add milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, reserving a few to sprinkle on top if desired.
- Ensure the batter fills no more than halfway up the mug to prevent overflow.
- Microwave on high for 60 to 75 seconds, until the top looks set but slightly soft in the center.
- Let the mug rest for 1 minute to allow residual heat to finish cooking the center.
- Serve warm and enjoy directly from the mug.
Notes
- Microwave times may vary depending on wattage, start with 60 seconds and add time in 5 second increments if needed.
- For a gooier center, reduce cooking time slightly.
- Add a tablespoon of crushed cookies on top before microwaving for extra crunch.
- A tiny pinch of sea salt on top enhances the chocolate flavor.
