Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 pinch Salt
- 3 tablespoons Milk (any kind)
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil (or melted butter)
- 0.25 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Chocolate chips or chocolate square
Directions
Step 1
In a microwave-safe mug or ramekin, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
Step 2
Add the milk, vegetable oil (or melted butter), and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until the batter is smooth with no lumps.
Step 3
Gently fold in the chocolate chips or press a chocolate square into the center of the batter for a molten core.
Step 4
Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 45-60 seconds. Microwave times may vary, so start with 45 seconds and check for doneness (the edges should be set, but the center should still be slightly gooey).
Step 5
Carefully remove the mug from the microwave (it will be hot) and let it cool for 1-2 minutes.
Step 6
Enjoy your Microwave Brownie Lava Cake straight from the mug with a spoon, or top with a scoop of ice cream for an extra treat!
