Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 Tbsp light brown sugar (packed)
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- 1 pinch salt
Wet Ingredients
- 3 Tbsp milk
- 3 Tbsp butter (melted)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 2 Tbsp chocolate chips (milk chocolate or semi-sweet, mini chips recommended)
Instructions
- Whisk dry ingredients: Whisk together the all-purpose flour, light brown sugar, baking powder, and salt in a mug or small bowl until well combined.
- Mix wet ingredients: Stir in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract into the dry ingredients until the batter is smooth.
- Fold in chocolate chips: Gently fold the chocolate chips into the batter to evenly distribute them.
- Microwave cooking: Microwave the mug on high for 1 to 2 minutes. If the cake isn't fully set, continue microwaving in 15 to 30-second increments until the cake is puffy, set, and springs back to the touch.
- Rest and serve: Let the mug cake sit in the microwave for 1 minute before serving to allow it to cool slightly and firm up.
Notes
- Microwave power can vary, so cooking times may need slight adjustments.
- Use mini chocolate chips for better distribution throughout the cake.
- You can substitute milk with any plant-based milk for a dairy-free option.
- Make sure to use a microwave-safe mug to avoid accidents.
- Adding a pinch of cinnamon can enhance the flavor if desired.
