Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Rolled oats (or quick oats)
- 1 tablespoon Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 tablespoon Honey (or maple syrup)
- 3 tablespoons Milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 0.25 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Chocolate chips (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a microwave-safe mug or small bowl, combine the rolled oats, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Step 2
Add the honey, milk, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until a smooth, well-combined batter forms. Scrape down the sides of the mug or bowl to ensure even cooking.
Step 3
If desired, fold in the chocolate chips or sprinkle them on top for extra indulgence.
Step 4
Place the mug or bowl in the microwave and cook on high for 1 minute. Depending on your microwave's strength, you may need an additional 10-15 seconds. The cake should appear set on top and slightly pull away from the edges.
Step 5
Let the cake cool for 1-2 minutes before enjoying. Be careful as it will be hot immediately after cooking.
Step 6
Enjoy your warm, chocolatey, guilt-free snack cake straight from the mug or transfer it onto a plate for serving.
