A quick and easy chocolate muffin made in the microwave in just minutes. Perfect for a delicious single-serving treat when you’re short on time.
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons chocolate chips
In a microwave-safe mug or small bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to mix the dry ingredients evenly.
Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until the batter is smooth and there are no lumps.
Fold in the chocolate chips gently into the batter.
Microwave the mug on high power for 60 seconds. The muffin should rise and be set but still moist. If it needs more time, microwave in additional 10-second increments until done.
Carefully remove the mug from the microwave (it will be hot). Let the muffin cool for 1-2 minutes before eating.
