Recipe Ingredients <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Ingredients<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Flour: <\/strong>I used all-purpose flour in this recipe. However, whole wheat flour is a great substitute. For a gluten-free option, try buckwheat flour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sugar: <\/strong>Raw, cane, or granulated; pick what\u2019s in your pantry for this chocolate strawberry mug cake. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strawberries:<\/strong> Fresh or frozen, either does the trick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Milk:<\/strong> Whole milk or 2%, any will work. You can also use any plant-based milk of your choice, like almond milk<\/a>, or oat milk<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oil:<\/strong> Any neutral-tasting vegetable oil is good for this recipe. I used canola oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vanilla Extract:<\/strong> For rounding up the flavors! Use store-bought or homemade vanilla extract<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Optional:<\/strong> The best part of simple strawberry desserts is the melty, gooey chocolate chips swirled with fresh fruit. So, while the treat is great without chocolate, I\u2019d say don\u2019t skip it. I used dark chocolate chips. Use whatever you fancy.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
