Chef's tip
Season to taste - salt substitutes can taste bitter in larger amounts, so start with less.

¼ tsp vanilla extract

1
Add the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt to a 12 oz microwave-safe mug and stir with a fork until the dry ingredients are evenly combined with no visible cocoa streaks.
2
Add the egg, milk, oil, and vanilla extract directly to the mug and stir vigorously with the fork until the batter is smooth and no dry pockets remain at the bottom of the mug.
