6 tbsp Hazelnut spread
1 tbsp Butter
3 tbsp all purpose flour
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
2 tsp Chocolate Chips
1 Egg

Instructions

Melt the butter in a small bowl. Add hazelnut spread and mix. Return to the microwave for 20 seconds to warm slightly so that mixing is easier.

Make sure that your batter has cooled down slightly and add egg. Mix.

Microwave for 30 seconds and check doneness. Continue to microwave for 20 second intervals until cooked to your preference.
Let cool. Top with your favorite ice cream and enjoy!

Notes

Top Tips

Use an 8 oz mug/ramekin for the recipe.

You can also split the batter into 2 ramekins, but the portions will be smaller.

For better mixing, warm up the Nutella in the microwave, then add all other ingredients except egg. Lastly, add the egg last so that it doesn't get scorched.

Mug cakes take seconds to cook. Don't overcook your mug cake. Check on it at 30 seconds. If it is still undercooked, return to microwave for another 20 seconds. Maximum cooking time, depending on microwave wattage, should be 70 seconds.
