Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder

  • 1 tablespoon oil (canola, coconut, olive, etc.)
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • ½ teaspoon peppermint extract

Directions

  1. In the mug, mix the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder and instant coffee/espresso until there are no clumps.
  2. One at a time, add the oil, milk and peppermint extract and combine. The mixture should have the consistency of brownie batter. If it’s too dry, add more milk. If it’s too wet, add more flour.
  3. Place your mug in the microwave and microwave in 45-second increments. Once it starts to rise, check with a toothpick to determine if it’s done.
