- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- ¼ tsp baking powder

- 3 tbsp milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil or melted butter
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp chocolate chips (semi-sweet, milk, or dark)

Instructions

Notes
- Do not overcook—microwaves vary; start with 60 seconds and add more time if needed.
- Use a large mug to prevent overflowing.
- Customize with Nutella, peanut butter, or white chocolate chips for fun variations.
- Best enjoyed fresh; texture may change if stored.
