Ingredients
- 1/4 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar (or sweetener of choice)
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 1/4 cup milk (or dairy-free alternative)
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)

Instructions
- Mix the dry ingredients: In a microwave-safe mug, whisk together the gluten-free flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the wet ingredients: Stir in the milk, oil, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined. If desired, fold in the chocolate chips for extra gooeyness.
- Microwave the mug cake: Microwave on high for 1 minute to 1 minute 15 seconds, or until the cake has risen and is set in the middle. Be careful not to overcook, as it can become dry.
