1/2 cup all purpose flour
6 tablespoons granulated sugar
3 tablespoons Ghirardelli brand ground chocolate & Cocoa or unsweetened cocoa
1 teaspoon baking powder
pinch salt
1/4 cup milk
3 tablespoons Bailey’s Irish Cream liquor (divided), optional
1 tablespoon canola oil
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 4 ramekins or oven-safe coffee cups with cooking spray.
