- Ingredients
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons coffee
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons chocolate chips optional
Whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a large microwave-safe mug.
Stir in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla.
Mix in the chocolate chips (or other add-ins).
Microwave on high for around one to two minutes, regularly checking after one minute for doneness.
The optional chocolate chips will add about 151 calories and 7 grams of fat.
A zero-calorie sugar substitute will cut about 171 calories from the chocolate mug cake.
To quickly reduce the fat and calories, replace the butter with applesauce. Using applesauce will remove about 188 calories and 23 grams of fat.
Replace one tablespoon of butter with chocolate hazelnut spread for a richer chocolate flavor and a hint of hazelnut.
