1-Minute Chocolate Mug Cake (Single Serving, Gluten-Free Option)
Quick, easy, and ready in under 90 seconds!
🍫 Ingredients (for 1 mug):
-
4 tbsp flour (all-purpose or gluten-free 1:1 blend)
-
2 tbsp sugar (or sweetener of choice)
-
2 tbsp cocoa powder
-
¼ tsp baking powder
-
Pinch of salt
-
3 tbsp milk (dairy or plant-based)
-
1 tbsp oil (vegetable, coconut, or melted butter)
-
¼ tsp vanilla extract
-
1 tbsp chocolate chips (optional, but highly recommended!)
⚡ Instructions:
-
Mix dry ingredients in a microwave-safe mug (flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, salt).
-
Add wet ingredients (milk, oil, vanilla) and stir until smooth.
-
Sprinkle chocolate chips on top (they’ll melt into gooey pockets!).
-
Microwave for 60–90 seconds (start with 60, then add 10-second bursts if needed).
-
Let cool 1 minute (it’s lava-hot!), then dig in!
💡 Pro Tips:
-
No egg needed! The mug cake stays fluffy without it.
-
Double it? Use a large mug or split into two small ramekins.
-
Add-ins: Try peanut butter, Nutella, or a sprinkle of sea salt.
-
Vegan? Use almond milk + flaxseed “egg” (1 tbsp ground flax + 3 tbsp water).
🔥 Why This Works:
✔ Single serving = no leftovers or waste.
✔ Pantry staples = no fancy ingredients.
