This pudding is quick and simple to rustle up, but tastes deliciously indulgent. You can use any red or purple jam, with or without 'bits' in it, for a tasty treat.
Ingredients
- jam: 2 tbsp jam (any will do), plus extra for serving
- : 2 tbsp chocolate spread, plus extra for serving
- oil: 3 tbsp oilÌý
- milk: 3 tbsp milk
- egg: 1 free-range egg
- golden syrup: 2 tbsp honey or golden syrup
- self-raising flour: 4 tbsp self-raising flour
Method
Put the jam and chocolate spread into a mug, and microwave for 30 seconds to soften. Stir in the oil and milk. Leave to cool for a minute or two.
Beat in the egg then mix in the honey or golden syrup. Stir in the flour, to make a smooth batter.
Place the mug back in the microwave for 90 seconds on High. It will rise quite a bit, but deflates again a little afterward.
Top with an small dollop of jam and chocolate spread, then microwave for a few seconds until melted.
Remove, and allow to stand for a minute or two before tucking in as it will be hot.
Recipe tips
This pudding doesn’t keep well, so it’s best to eat it soon after making it.
