Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.125 teaspoons salt
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon chocolate chips (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a microwave-safe mug or small bowl, add the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix with a spoon until combined.
Step 2
Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir well until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain.
Step 3
If using chocolate chips, fold them into the batter for extra chocolaty goodness.
Step 4
Gently tap the mug or bowl on the counter to remove any air bubbles in the batter.
Step 5
Microwave on high for 90 seconds to 2 minutes, depending on the strength of your microwave. Start checking at 90 seconds by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out mostly clean when done.
Step 6
Carefully remove the mug or bowl from the microwave using oven mitts (it will be hot). Let the muffin cool for 1–2 minutes before eating.
Step 7
Enjoy your microwaved cocoa muffin as-is or topped with whipped cream, powdered sugar, or a drizzle of chocolate syrup.
