Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Rolled oats (or quick oats)
- 1 tablespoon Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 tablespoon Honey (or maple syrup)
- 3 tablespoons Milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 0.25 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
In a microwave-safe mug or small bowl, combine the rolled oats, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Add the honey, milk, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until a smooth, well-combined batter forms. Scrape down the sides of the mug or bowl to ensure even cooking.
If desired, fold in the chocolate chips or sprinkle them on top for extra indulgence.
Place the mug or bowl in the microwave and cook on high for 1 minute. Depending on your microwave's strength, you may need an additional 10-15 seconds. The cake should appear set on top and slightly pull away from the edges.
Let the cake cool for 1-2 minutes before enjoying. Be careful as it will be hot immediately after cooking.
Enjoy your warm, chocolatey, guilt-free snack cake straight from the mug or transfer it onto a plate for serving.
