Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.125 teaspoons salt
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
In a microwave-safe mug or small bowl, add the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix with a spoon until combined.
Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir well until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain.
If using chocolate chips, fold them into the batter for extra chocolaty goodness.
Gently tap the mug or bowl on the counter to remove any air bubbles in the batter.
Microwave on high for 90 seconds to 2 minutes, depending on the strength of your microwave. Start checking at 90 seconds by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out mostly clean when done.
Carefully remove the mug or bowl from the microwave using oven mitts (it will be hot). Let the muffin cool for 1–2 minutes before eating.
Enjoy your microwaved cocoa muffin as-is or topped with whipped cream, powdered sugar, or a drizzle of chocolate syrup.
