Instructions

  1. Step 1: Grease a 12-ounce microwave-safe mug with butter. Whisk 2 tbsp all-purpose flour, 3 tbsp granulated sugar, and 1 tbsp cocoa powder in a small bowl until combined.
  2. Step 2: Melt 1 tbsp unsalted butter in the microwave for 20 seconds, then add 2 tbsp milk and 1/4 tsp vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
  3. Step 3: Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir until just combined, avoiding overmixing. Fold in 2 tbsp chocolate chips.
  4. Step 4: Spoon mixture into the greased mug, smoothing the top. Microwave on high for 90 seconds until the edges are set and center is slightly puffy. Let rest for 1 minute before eating to avoid burns.
