Step 1

Add all of the ingredients except for the chocolate chips to a small blender. I use my Magic  Bullet, but a NutriBullet or any blender with a small carafe works. Note: If you’re making mug cakes for two people, double the recipe and use a regular sized blender.

Step 2

Blend until everything is completely combined and it appears as though all of the oats are well blended. Stir the chocolate chips into the batter.

Step 3

Pour the batter into a microwave-safe mug. To be safe, use a large mug to avoid any overflow.

Step 4

If you’d like, sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top of the batter. If you’re adding a tablespoon of butter, drop it into the center of the batter now.

Step 5

Microwave for 3 minutes, or until the cake is cooked through.

Step 6

Enjoy the mug cake as is, or drizzle with a little honey or pure maple syrup and add a pat of butter.
