Ingredients
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
a pinch salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 tablespoons milk
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 to 2 tablespoons chocolate chips
Instructions
1. Add flour, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt to a 12 oz microwave-safe mug. Stir well to combine.
2. Add vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly with a fork or small whisk until smooth.
3. Fold in chocolate chips, reserving a few to press into the center if you want a molten core.
4. Microwave on high for 60 to 90 seconds. Start checking at the 60-second mark. The top should look set but soft.
5. Let it cool for 1 minute before eating. Top with vanilla ice cream or enjoy straight from the mug.
Notes
Use a ceramic mug that’s at least 12 oz to prevent overflow.
Don’t overmix the batter—just stir until combined.
Avoid overcooking to keep the center soft and gooey.
