Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Almond flour
- 1 tablespoon Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.5 tablespoons Granulated erythritol or stevia
- 0.25 teaspoons Baking powder (low sodium if available)
- 2.5 tablespoons Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 large Egg
- 0.25 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Dark chocolate chips (sugar-free, optional)
Instructions
In a microwave-safe mug, whisk together almond flour, cocoa powder, erythritol (or stevia), and baking powder until well combined.
Add unsweetened almond milk, egg, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Stir thoroughly with a fork or small whisk until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain.
If desired, fold in sugar-free dark chocolate chips for added richness.
Microwave the mug on high for 50-60 seconds, depending on the wattage of your microwave. Start with 50 seconds and check for doneness— the cake should be set but still moist. Avoid overcooking as it can become dry.
Let the mug cake cool for 1-2 minutes before enjoying directly from the mug or transferring to a plate.
For an indulgent touch, garnish with a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream or a sprinkle of unsweetened cocoa powder.
