Making your Gluten-Free Chocolate Mug Cake is a breeze! Follow these simple steps for a delicious outcome:

1. Get Your Mug Ready: Choose a microwave-safe mug that holds at least 12 ounces.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In your mug, mix together the gluten-free flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
3. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well-blended, ensuring there are no lumps.
4. Mix in Extras: If desired, add chocolate chips or nuts to your batter, mixing them gently to evenly distribute.
5. Microwave: Place your mug in the microwave and heat for 1 to 2 minutes. Start with 1 minute, then check for doneness. If the top looks slightly wet, it is done.
6. Cool Down: Let the mug cake cool for a minute before digging in. It will be very hot!

By following these straightforward steps, you’ll have a warm and delicious dessert ready in mere minutes.
