Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Oat flour (or finely ground oats)
- 1 tablespoon Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar substitute (e.g., erythritol or stevia)
- 3 tablespoons Unsweetened almond milk (or any low-calorie milk alternative)
- 0.25 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 tablespoon Mini chocolate chips (optional, sugar-free if desired)
- 1 spritz Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Lightly spray a microwave-safe mug with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
In the mug, combine oat flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and the sugar substitute. Stir well to ensure there are no clumps.
Add almond milk and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients, stirring until the batter is smooth and all ingredients are incorporated.
If using, gently fold in mini chocolate chips for extra flavor.
Microwave the mug on high for 40-60 seconds (time may vary depending on your microwave wattage). Check after 40 seconds to avoid overcooking—the cake should rise and look set but still moist.
Let the mug cake cool for 1-2 minutes before enjoying it warm. Optionally, top with a dollop of low-calorie whipped cream or fresh berries for extra indulgence.
