Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 pinch Salt
- 3 tablespoons Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.25 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoons Chocolate chips
- Optional toppings (whipped cream, ice cream, etc.)
Instructions
In a microwave-safe mug (at least 12 ounces), whisk together the gluten-free flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
Stir in the chocolate chips for extra melty goodness.
Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high power for 1 minute and 30 seconds to 2 minutes, depending on your microwave's wattage. The cake should rise and look set but still moist on top.
Carefully remove the mug from the microwave (it will be hot!). Let it sit for 1-2 minutes to cool slightly.
Top with whipped cream, ice cream, or your favorite toppings if desired. Enjoy your quick, gluten-free chocolate treat!
