Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1.5 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 pinch Salt
- 3 tablespoons Low-fat milk
- 1.5 tablespoons Applesauce
- 0.25 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Chocolate chips
Instructions
In a microwave-safe mug, combine the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly until well combined using a small whisk or fork.
Add the low-fat milk, applesauce, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir the mixture well until a smooth batter forms, ensuring there are no lumps.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
Place the mug in the center of the microwave and cook on high for about 60 to 70 seconds, or until the cake has risen and the top is firm to the touch.
Carefully remove the mug from the microwave. Let it cool for a minute or two as the cake might be hot, then enjoy your low-fat chocolate mug cake directly from the mug.
