Ingredients
Scale

- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons water

Instructions
- Gather your ingredients. In a microwave-safe mug, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
- Add the vegetable oil, water, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly until smooth and no lumps remain.
- If desired, fold in the chocolate chips for extra gooeyness.
