Chocolate Chip Cookie in a Mug
Author:A single-serve Chocolate Chip Cookie in a Mug for those times when you are craving a warm gooey, freshly baked cookie, but don't want to bake an entire batch. You can quite litreally go from zero to cookie in minutes. Grab yourself a mug stat!
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon liquid oil , such as sunflower, vegetable, or canola oil. (Use 1 tablespoon drippy nut butter for an oil-free cookie).
- 1 tablespoon water
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons ground flaxseed , NOT WHOLE. If you don't have ground flax you can omit it. It still works but the texture won't be as cookie-like.
- ⅛ teaspoon fine sea salt
- 2 tablespoons cane or white sugar
- 4 tablespoons all purpose flour (in the UK use plain flour). See recipe notes for GF option.
- ⅛ teaspoon baking soda (bicarb in the UK)
- 2 tablespoons dairy free chocolate chips
INSTRUCTIONS
SEE THE RECIPE NOTES BEFORE YOU MAKE A START
- Add the oil, water, vanilla, ground flax, salt, and sugar to a mug. Stir together then add the flour and baking soda. Mix until everything is combined but try not to over-mix. If you use nut butter instead of oil add an extra two teaspoons of water.
- Pour in the chocolate chips, fold them through gently then level the top with your spoon.
- Place the mug in a microwave and cook on high for 45 seconds. Leave to stand for 30 seconds to 1 minute before eating for optimum cookie texture.
NOTES
This recipe, with the quantities as stated, makes the equivalent of about 1 cookie. It will not fill a mug. I doubled the recipe in the photos here to make it easier to photograph.
If you want to double the recipe you can click the 2x button by the list of ingredients and they will be doubled automatically. Cook for 1 minute 10 seconds, then leave to rest for 30 seconds before eating.
To make gluten-free, use a good all-purpose 1 to 1 baking flour. OR use certified gluten-free oat flour and increase the amount to 6 tablespoons.
