- A pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup milk (or plant-based milk)
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:
- Prepare the Batter:
- In a mixing bowl, combine oats, flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk together milk, oil (or melted butter), egg, and vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until well combined. If desired, fold in chocolate chips or nuts.
- Fill the Mugs:
- Evenly divide the batter among four microwave-safe mugs, filling each about halfway to allow room for rising.
- Cook the Mug Cakes:
- Microwave each mug individually for 1-2 minutes, or until the cake has risen and set. Cooking time may vary depending on your microwave’s wattage, so check after 1 minute.
- Serve:
- Let the cakes cool slightly before enjoying. You can add a sprinkle of powdered sugar, a drizzle of chocolate sauce, or a scoop of ice cream on top for extra indulgence!
