Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 5 tablespoons blanched almond flour (5 tablespoons = 1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon)
  • 2 tablespoons fine oat flour
  • 1 tablespoon tapioca starch
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons chocolate chips (divided: 1 tbsp for batter, 1 tbsp for topping)

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons non-dairy milk (almond milk recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil
  • 1 tablespoon apple sauce
  • 3 tablespoons brown or coconut sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Whisk dry ingredients: In a microwave-safe mug (around 12 ounces capacity), combine the almond flour, oat flour, tapioca starch, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and 1 tablespoon of chocolate chips. Whisk thoroughly to blend all the dry components evenly.
  2. Add wet ingredients: Add the non-dairy milk, melted coconut oil, apple sauce, brown or coconut sugar, and vanilla extract to the mug. Whisk the mixture well until you have a smooth and thick batter, free of lumps.
  3. Top with chocolate chips: Sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon of chocolate chips evenly on the surface of the batter. Wipe the edges of the mug for a clean finish if desired.
  4. Microwave the cake: Cook the mug cake in the microwave on high power for 90 to 120 seconds. Start with 90 seconds and increase in small intervals if necessary, depending on the wattage of your microwave.
  5. Check doneness: The cake should look set on top without any wet batter showing. For a gooier center, cook on the lower end of time; for a typical cakey texture, aim for about 100 seconds.
  6. Let it sit: Remove the cake from the microwave and allow it to sit for about 5 minutes. This resting period lets the cake finish cooking and settle, improving texture.
  7. Serve and enjoy: Serve the mug cake warm. Optionally, top with vegan ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.

Notes

  • Microwave times may vary depending on the wattage; adjust accordingly in short increments.
  • Use a microwave-safe mug with at least 12-ounce capacity to avoid overflow.
  • For a richer flavor, use high-quality cocoa powder and dairy-free chocolate chips.
  • The cake tastes best if allowed to cool and set for 5 minutes before eating.
  • Apple sauce helps keep the cake moist and acts as a vegan binder.
  • Optional toppings like vegan ice cream or coconut whipped cream enhance the dessert experience.
