We've put the kids to bed. The Postman and I are sitting on the couch just chill'n, watching TV when it hits me. "I need a dessert." And usually that dessert needs to be chocolate. (This scenario happens more often than I'd care to admit.) I have discovered the perfect fix! It's perfect because A) It's chocolate B) It uses ingredients I usually have on hand C) I can pretty much whip this up during a commercial break - beginning to end.
To make this REALLY good, top with some vanilla ice cream (which, admittedly, will take a bit more foresight).
It's kind of like baking with an Easy Bake Oven, except you'll be using your much more efficient microwave oven. So, yeah, this would be a great one for the kids to try. Enjoy!
In a large mug or microwave-safe cereal bowl,Whisk together:
1/4 C flour
5 T sugar
2 T cocoa powder
1 egg
3 T milk
3 T veg. oil
touch of vanilla extract
pinch of salt
Whisk until smooth. Microwave until puffed, about 2 minutes.
