Description
This Gluten Free Mug Cake is rich, chocolatey, and ready in minutes for the perfect single-serve dessert. Moist and fluffy with melty chocolate chips, it’s an easy microwave treat for any craving.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons neutral-flavored oil
- 5 tablespoons milk of choice
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ¼ level cup gluten-free all-purpose flour with xanthan gum
- 2 tablespoons granulated white sugar
- 3 tablespoons baking cocoa powder
- ⅛ teaspoon baking soda
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons chocolate chips
Instructions
- Add the oil, milk, and vanilla extract to a medium mixing bowl and whisk until fully combined.
- Sift the gluten-free flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt into the wet ingredients. Whisk vigorously until a smooth batter forms.
- Transfer the batter to a microwave-safe mug and sprinkle the chocolate chips on top.
- Microwave on high for 60 seconds. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick or butter knife into the center. If wet batter remains, microwave in 10-second intervals until only a few crumbs remain.
- Carefully remove the mug from the microwave and let cool slightly before serving warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Use a gluten-free flour blend that already contains xanthan gum for best texture.
- Microwave times may vary depending on wattage.
- Top with whipped cream, ice cream, or fresh berries for extra indulgence.
- For a dairy-free version, use almond or coconut milk and dairy-free chocolate chips.
