Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  
  

• 3 tablespoons all‑purpose flour
  
  

• 1½ tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  
  

• Pinch of salt
  
  

• 2 tablespoons chocolate chips, plus more for topping
  
  

• 1½ tablespoons vegetable oil (or melted butter/coconut oil)
  
  

• 3 tablespoons milk
  
  

• ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
  
  

• Optional toppings: ice cream, whipped cream, powdered sugar, berries
  
  

Directions

1. In a microwave-safe mug, whisk together the sugar, flour, cocoa powder, and salt until smooth and lump-free.
   
   

2. Stir in the chocolate chips.
   
   

3. Add oil, milk, and vanilla; stir gently until just combined (don’t overmix).
   
   

4. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top.
   
   

5. Microwave for about 60–90 seconds: start with 60 s, then continue in 10–15 s increments until no raw batter remains (moist fudgy crumbs are fine).
   
   

6. Remove carefully (it will be hot!), top with your desired garnishes, and dig in immediately.
