Almond Flour Chocolate Mug Cake

Ingredients

• ¼ cup almond flour
• 1½ tbsp cocoa powder
• 2½ tbsp sugar
• ¼ tsp baking powder
• ⅛ tsp salt
• 1 egg
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp chocolate chips (optional)

Steps

1. 1

   In a microwave-safe mug, combine almond flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt and give them a mix.

2. 2

   Then add in your egg, oil, and vanilla, and stir until thoroughly combined with the dry, creating your cake batter.

3. 3

   Sprinkle in chocolate chips, if using, evenly over the top of the cake batter. No need to mix them in, as the chocolate chips will sink as the cake cooks.

4. 4

   Microwave the mug cake for 50-80 seconds, depending on your microwave. The cake should rise to its tallest point and keep cooking for about 10 seconds before being done. You can use a cake tester or toothpick to see if it’s done in the middle. If not, continue microwaving in 8-second intervals.

5. 5

   When done, enjoy warm by itself, or top it with ice cream, powdered sugar, or fruit!
