Ingredients
  • 1 Egg
  • 1/4 cup Milk
  • 2 tablespoons Granulated Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 2 tablespoons Chocolate Chips
  • 1 Pinch of Salt

Preparing the Mug

Select a microwave-safe mug or ramekin that is large enough to hold the clafoutis as it rises during cooking.

Mixing the Batter

In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, sugar, flour, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth. Ensure there are no lumps of flour remaining. A smooth batter is key to a good texture.

Adding Chocolate Chips

Gently fold in the chocolate chips into the batter. Distribute them evenly throughout.

Microwaving the Clafoutis

Pour the batter into the prepared mug. Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes, or until the clafoutis is set but still slightly soft in the center. Cooking times may vary. Start with 1 minute and check every 15 seconds thereafter.

Cooling and Serving

Let the clafoutis cool for a minute or two before serving. The mug will be hot. You can add a scoop of ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate syrup for a richer dessert.

FAQ

  • Can I use different types of chocolate chips?

    Yes! White chocolate, milk chocolate, or even peanut butter chips would be delicious. Feel free to experiment.
  • My clafoutis is too dry. How can I prevent this?

    Make sure you are not overcooking it. Also, adding a tablespoon of melted butter to the batter can help keep it moist.
  • Can I add cocoa powder for a richer chocolate flavor?

    Yes, add 1 tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder to the batter, and slightly increase the milk if needed, to maintain the batter's consistency.
