Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Whisk flour, cocoa powder, and sugar in a microwave-safe mug until no lumps remain.

  2. Step 2

    Add oil and water, stir until smooth batter forms.

  3. Step 3

    Fold in chocolate chips.

  4. Step 4

    Microwave on high for 60–90 seconds until the top looks barely set but still jiggles slightly in the center.

  5. Step 5

    Let cool 1 minute so you don't burn your mouth, then eat directly from the mug.

Tools you’ll need
