Ingredients and Notes

See the recipe card below for exact measurements.

• Non-dairy milk:You can use any type of milk including soy milk or almond milk.
• Vegan butter: If you can't get your hands on vegan butter, you can use vegetable oil instead (like canola oil, refined coconut oil, etc.).
• All-purpose flour: If you want to make a gluten-free mug cake, you can use gluten-free flour.
• Oat flour: If you don't have oat flour, you can substitute it with 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour.
• Sugar: We like to use both light brown sugar and white sugar for the best results.
• Chocolate chips: Make sure to use vegan chocolate chips. If you want to have big chocolate chunks, you can roughly chop a bar of dark chocolate.
• Baking soda or baking powder: To help the cookie rise and get fluffy.
• Vanilla extract: Optional, but if you have it on hand, we suggest adding a small splash for more flavor.

How to Make Vegan Mug Cookie

Spray a small microwave-safe mug or a ramekin with cooking spray. Then, add wet ingredients first- milk, melted butter, brown sugar, white sugar, and vanilla extract (optional). Stir with a fork or a small whisk.

Using two types of sugar gives this cookie a ton of flavor (from the molasses in the brown sugar), as well as the right amount of moisture.

Next, add the dry ingredients- all-purpose flour, oat flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix just until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.

Using oat flour in addition to regular flour gives a rich nutty flavor to this cookie, which we really like.

Finally, top it with a few more chocolate chips to finish. Microwave for 1 minute. It should be fluffy yet fudgy inside. if it's not ready after 1 minute, microwave it for 30 more seconds.

If you don't have a microwave, you can bake this vegan mug cookie. Preheat oven to 350ºF (180ºC) and add the ramekin to a baking sheet. Bake the cookie for 8-10 minutes.

Expert Tips

• Don't overmix the dough! Mix just until the ingredients are well combined. If you overmix, your cookie will not be as fluffy and fudgy.
• Grease your mug to prevent sticking. Either use a cooking spray or make a quick brush with oil.
• Measure the flour correctly. Adding too much flour will result in a dry cookie, so it's important to measure it the right way. If you are not aware of how to do that, we suggest reading this guide to help you with it.
• If you want to make it chocolate flavored, stir in 1-2 teaspoon cocoa powder.
