In just a matter of minutes, you can whip up this single-serving dessert, making it perfect for those moments when you need a little chocolatey indulgence.
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tablespoons oat flour (or almond flour for a gluten-free option)
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
A pinch of salt
3 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg (or a flax egg for a vegan option)
1-2 tablespoons dark chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions:
Step 1: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a microwave-safe mug, combine the unsweetened cocoa powder, oat flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir these dry ingredients together until well mixed.
Step 2: Add Wet Ingredients
Add the honey or maple syrup, unsweetened applesauce, vanilla extract, and the egg (or flax egg) to the mug. Mix until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Step 3: Microwave
Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for about 1 minute and 30 seconds to 2 minutes, or until the cake has risen and set in the center. Cooking times may vary depending on your microwave's wattage, so keep an eye on it to avoid overcooking.
Step 4: Enjoy
Carefully remove the mug from the microwave (it will be hot!), and let it cool for a minute or two.
If desired, sprinkle dark chocolate chips on top of the cake while it's still warm; they will melt slightly.
Grab a spoon and dig into your delectable, healthier chocolate mug cake!
