Instructions

  1. Step 1: Lightly grease a microwave-safe mug with 1 tbsp unsalted butter, coating the bottom and sides.
  2. Step 2: In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 tbsp unsalted butter. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth and melted.
  3. Step 3: Into the mug, add the melted chocolate mixture, then whisk in 2 tbsp granulated sugar and 1 large egg until smooth and combined.
  4. Step 4: Stir in 1 tbsp all-purpose flour until fully incorporated and batter is thick.
  5. Step 5: Microwave the mug on high for 50-60 seconds until the soufflé rises and the top looks set but still slightly jiggly.
  6. Step 6: Let it cool for 1 minute before enjoying directly from the mug.
