Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons oil vegetable, coconut, canola, safflower, or grapeseed
  • 2 tablespoons vanilla almond milk or other milk of preference
  • 2 tablespoons dark chocolate chips
  • 1 pinch sea salt optional

    2 tablespoons cocoa powder, 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • Add milk and oil and stir well, making sure to get all the dry ingredients that may be hiding in the corners of the mug.
    2 tablespoons vanilla almond milk, 2 tablespoons oil
  • Add chocolate chips on top and microwave on high for 80 seconds. Add a pinch of salt to top (optional). Enjoy!
    2 tablespoons dark chocolate chips, 1 pinch sea salt

Notes

  • Using coconut oil does result in a mild hint of coconut flavor and aroma. If you want a strictly chocolate flavor, opt for another oil.
  • If you don't have vanilla almond milk, you can use whatever milk is in your fridge. Option to add a splash of vanilla extract if you're not using flavored milk.
