Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 pinch Salt
- 3 tablespoons Milk
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.25 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoons Chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
In a microwave-safe mug or small bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until thoroughly combined.
Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until a smooth batter forms.
If desired, fold in chocolate chips for extra richness.
Tap the mug lightly on the counter to eliminate any air bubbles.
