    • 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder

    • 1 tbsp oat flour or all-purpose flour

    • 1/2 tbsp melted butter or oil (or 1 tsp each for flavor + texture)

    • 1–1½ tbsp sugar, sweetener, or a mix, to taste
      (try allulose, erythritol, monk fruit, or a blend like Swerve)

    👉 Microwave Version:

    1. In a microwave-safe mug or ramekin, mix cocoa powder, flour, sweetener/sugar, and salt.

    2. Stir in butter/oil, milk, and vanilla until a thick, smooth batter forms.

    3. Fold in chocolate chips if using.

    4. Microwave for 35–45 seconds (time may vary). Let it cool slightly—it will firm up as it rests.

    1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).

    2. Mix ingredients as above and pour into a greased or parchment-lined ramekin.
