Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Almond flour
- 1 tablespoon Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1.5 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.25 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Dark chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
In a microwave-safe mug (minimum 8 ounces), add the almond flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and baking powder. Mix thoroughly to combine.
Add the maple syrup, unsweetened almond milk, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until you achieve a smooth, lump-free batter.
If desired, stir in dark chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.
Microwave the mug on high for 60–90 seconds, or until the cake has set and is springy to the touch. Avoid overcooking to maintain a moist texture.
Allow the mug cake to cool for 1 minute before enjoying. Optionally, top with fresh fruit, a dollop of Greek yogurt, or a sprinkle of cocoa powder for garnish.
