  • 1/4 tsp Baking Powder
  • Pinch Salt
  • 3 tbsp Milk
  • 1 tbsp Vegetable Oil
  • 1/4 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 2 tbsp Chocolate Chips

Get Ready!

Gather your ingredients and a microwave-safe mug. A standard coffee mug (about 12-16 oz) works best.

Combine Dry Ingredients

In the mug, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Make sure there are no lumps.

Add Wet Ingredients

Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the mug. Stir well until everything is completely mixed. The batter should be smooth.

Mix in Chocolate Chips

Gently fold in the chocolate chips. Don't overmix.

Microwave

Microwave on high for 60-90 seconds, or until the muffin is cooked through. Cooking time may vary depending on your microwave's power. Watch it carefully to prevent it from overflowing.

Cool and Enjoy

Let the muffin cool for a minute before eating. Be careful, as it will be hot! You can eat it directly from the mug or transfer it to a plate.
