Ingredients
4 tablespoons gluten-free all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch salt
3 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon neutral oil
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon chocolate chips
Instructions
1. In a microwave-safe mug, stir together the gluten-free flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
2. Add the milk, oil, and vanilla extract, then stir until the batter is smooth and no dry spots remain.
3. Fold in the chocolate chips so they are evenly distributed through the batter.
4. Microwave on high for 60 to 90 seconds, depending on your microwave, until the top looks set but still slightly soft in the center.
5. Let the mug cake rest for 1 to 2 minutes before serving so the texture settles and the chocolate stays gooey.
Notes
Do not overcook the mug cake or it can turn dry and rubbery very quickly.
Use a mug that holds at least 10 to 12 ounces so the batter has room to rise.
For an even richer dessert, add a few extra chocolate chips on top before microwaving.
