Ingredients

1 tbsp coconut oil (refined or not) or swap for almond butter or peanut butter for a healthier recipe, see notes
1½ tbsp plant-based milk I used oat milk
2 tbsp brown sugar
¼ tsp vanilla extract
small pinch of salt
4 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 tbsp vegan chocolate chips I used the mini chocolate chips from Enjoy Life

Instructions

To a mug or small ramequin, add the coconut oil and melt using the microwave (30-60 seconds). Then, add the plant-based milk, vanilla extract and brown sugar. Stir to combine.
Add the flour and salt, then stir until there are no dry pockets of flour anymore. Stir in the chocolate chips and then use the back of a spoon to even out the top surface.
Cook in the microwave for 40-60 seconds. The cooking time will depend on how thick your cookie is (or the size of your mug) and your microwave's strength. You can start with 40 seconds and cook 10 seconds extra if needed until done. The cookie is done when the edges are set but the middle still looks soft and slightly underdone.
Let the mug cookie rest for 2 minutes before enjoying it (it will finish up cooking during that time).

Notes

You can use different sizes of microwave-safe dishes to make this recipe. I used an 8 oz ramequin, which worked out well. If your dish is narrower, then you will end up with a thicker cookie, meaning that you might need to cook it for a little longer. I cooked mine for 45 seconds.
