Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 3 tablespoons non-dairy milk (such as almond, soy, or oat milk)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 0.25 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon vegan chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
In a microwave-safe mug, combine the flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir well with a fork or mini whisk until evenly mixed.
Add the non-dairy milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until you achieve a smooth batter, ensuring no lumps remain.
Optional step: Fold in the vegan chocolate chips for an extra chocolatey experience.
Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 1 minute. Cooking times may vary slightly based on your microwave's power, so check the cake after 1 minute; if it's not done, cook in additional 10-second intervals. The top should be firm and spring back when lightly touched.
Carefully remove the mug from the microwave (it will be hot) and let it cool for a minute or so. Enjoy your vegan chocolate mug cake directly from the mug!
