Notes

  • Use a fork to mix together all of your ingredients directly in the mug.
  • When adding your dry ingredients, feel free to use different types of chocolate chips, such as white chocolate or dark chocolate. You can also use caramel or mint chips in the mix.
  • Avoid using a plastic mug if it’s not a microwave-safe one. You don’t want the plastic to start melting in the microwave.
