Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Combine flour, cocoa powder, and sugar in a microwave-safe mug. Stir well to break up any lumps.

  2. Step 2

    Add the egg and oil. Stir with a fork until smooth and fully combined, about 20 seconds.

  3. Step 3

    Fold in chocolate chips with a few final strokes — don't overmix.

  4. Step 4

    Microwave on high for 45–60 seconds. Center should be fudgy; the top may still jiggle slightly.

  5. Step 5

    Let cool in the mug for 30 seconds. Serve warm with a spoon directly from the mug.

Tools you’ll need

  • microwave-safe mug (10–12 oz)
