Ingredients (1 mug)

• 4 tbsp flour
• 3 tbsp sugar
• 2 tbsp cocoa powder
• 1/4 tsp baking powder
• Pinch of salt
• 3 tbsp milk
• 2 tbsp oil
• 1/4 tsp vanilla
• Optional: chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Whisk dry ingredients in a microwave-safe mug.
2. Stir in milk, oil, and vanilla until smooth; add chips if using.
3. Microwave 60–90 seconds until risen and set.
4. Cool 1 minute and eat.

Tip: Start at 60 seconds — overcooking makes it dry.
