Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp gluten free all purpose flour (with xanthan gum if possible)
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 2 tbsp sugar (brown or white both work)
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • Pinch salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 egg (or see substitutions below)
  • 3 tbsp milk (dairy or non dairy)
  • 2 tbsp oil or melted butter
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract

Optional Add-ins

  • 1 tbsp chocolate chips for that melty top

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Add the dry ingredients to the mug and mix really well with a fork.
  • Add the egg, milk, oil, and vanilla. Mix until smooth and glossy.

Cooking

  • Microwave for 60 seconds, then check. If still wet on top, microwave in 10 to 15 second bursts until done.
  • The center should look set but still soft. Let it sit for 1 minute before enjoying.

Notes

Mix the dry ingredients first to avoid clumping. Use a larger mug to prevent overflow and do not overcook to prevent a rubbery texture.
