Almond Joy Mug Cake [ gluten-free, vegan ]
Description
The Almond Joy Mug Cake uses rolled oats processed into a coarse flour as the dry base, making it naturally gluten-free and vegan. Coconut sugar provides mild sweetness, balanced by a pinch of salt and a small amount of baking soda for leavening. Wet ingredients include almond milk, almond butter, melted coconut oil, and almond extract to build a moist, flavorful batter. When mixed and transferred to a greased mug, shredded coconut and mini chocolate chips are folded in to contribute texture and familiar flavors.
Microwaving for 1-2 minutes quickly cooks the batter into a soft, tender cake with a slightly dense crumb. The cake mimics the flavor profile of an Almond Joy candy bar through its balance of almond, chocolate, and coconut notes. This recipe allows flexibility to substitute coconut oil with other mild oils or fruit purees for reduced fat, and the batter can also be baked directly in the oat container.
Ingredients
dry ingredients:
- 1 oats Just Oatmeal* (heaping half cup of rolled oats, brand: Modern
- 1/2-1 TBS coconut sugar to taste
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- Pinch salt
wet ingredients:
- ⅓ cup almond milk
- 1.5 TBS almond butter
- 1 TBS coconut oil melted
- ⅛ tsp almond extract adds great flavor, but vanilla is fine
mix-ins:
- 1 TBS coconut shredded
- 1 TBS mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a small blender add Modern Oats Just Oatmeal, coconut sugar, baking soda, and pinch of salt. Blend until oats resemble coarse flour (about 5 seconds if using NutriBullet).
- Add in almond milk, almond butter, coconut oil, and almond extract. Blend until batter forms, about another 5-10 seconds.
- Transfer batter into well greased 8-12oz mug, stir in coconut and chocolate chips. Microwave mug cake for 1-2 minutes. Share if you're feeling generous, and enjoy!
Notes
- Modern Oats Just Oatmeal or 1/2 cup rolled oats can be used; blend to coarse flour to achieve correct texture.
- Any mild flavored oil can substitute for coconut oil; applesauce or mashed banana can replace oil to lower fat content but yield different texture.
- Almond extract can be replaced with vanilla extract if preferred.
- Batter can be microwaved in a greased mug or poured into the oat container and microwaved for similar results.
