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

  • 1 TBS coconut shredded
  • 1 TBS mini chocolate chips

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. 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).
  2. Add in almond milk, almond butter, coconut oil, and almond extract. Blend until batter forms, about another 5-10 seconds.
  3. 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.
