Gluten-Free Chocolate Mug Cake

- 1/4 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour with xanthan gum
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon gluten-free baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons gluten-free unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions
- 1
In a large 12-ounce microwave-safe coffee mug whisk together gluten-free flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cocoa powder, and cinnamon.

Whisk in the vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and water until all ingredients are combined and the batter is smooth.
- 3
Sprinkle the top of the batter with the chocolate chips.
- 4
Place a plate or paper towel under your mug the first time you make this cake to catch any potential spillage if your cup is not large enough.

Microwave mug cake for 70 seconds* on high. Please watch your microwave. I have a 1500 watt microwave oven. Do not overcook or the cake will be dry. I recommend that you place a plate or paper towel under your mug the first time you make this cake to catch any potential spillage if your cup is not large enough.

Carefully remove from the microwave and enjoy the cake! Let the cake cool for 1 to 2 minutes before eating.
