- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 pinch Salt
- 3 tablespoons Milk
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions
In a microwave-safe mug, add the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to combine all the dry ingredients.
Add the milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and water to the dry mixture. Stir until smooth and well combined, making sure there are no lumps.
If using, gently fold in the chocolate chips for an extra chocolaty texture.
Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high power for 1 minute and 30 seconds to 2 minutes, depending on your microwave wattage. Start with the shorter time and add increments if needed.
