Ingredients

1 egg

2 tsp. baking soda

1/2 Tbsp. cocoa

2 Tbsp. sugar

2 Tbsp. oats

Tips

-Use the largest mug you have!
-Try adding nuts or dried fruit for some variety.
-If you don't want a chocolate muffin, substitute flour for the cocoa powder.

Directions

You'll need a very large mug, preferably one that could hold about 2 c. water. Crack egg into mug; mix in baking powder as thoroughly as possible. Add remaining ingredients and mix well, making sure to scrape sides and bottom of mug. (Note: I like my dark chocolate extremely dark -- if you like things sweeter, you may want another tablespoon of sugar.)

Microwave for about 1:30 to 2 minutes, depending on your microwave. Allow to cool for a few minutes, then tip out onto a plate. The texture will be rather like a sponge cake.

Enjoy with a cup of skim milk.
