Mint Chocolate Chip Mug Cake
Description
This recipe mixes almond flour as a base with raw cacao powder and semi-sweet chocolate chips for chocolate flavor, combined with maple syrup for sweetness, coconut oil for moisture, and peppermint extract for a refreshing mint note. One egg binds the batter, which is poured into a mug and microwaved for about 1 to 1½ minutes until cooked through.
The resulting mug cake offers a moist, tender texture that can be adjusted with cooking time: less time results in a more moist and brownie-like consistency, while longer cooking yields a firmer, cake-like texture. The chocolate chips provide bursts of melted chocolate throughout the cake, complementing the mint flavor.
This mug cake serves as a quick treat or dessert for one without requiring an oven or mixing multiple quantities. It can be enjoyed plain or topped with whipped cream for added richness.
Adjust microwave time according to your appliance’s wattage to achieve the preferred texture, as cooking times may vary.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons raw cacao powder
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
- ¼ teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1 egg large
- 2 tablespoons chocolate chips semi-sweet
Instructions
- Stir everything together. In a measuring cup, whisk together the almond flour, cacao powder, maple syrup, coconut oil, peppermint, and egg. Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Pour and bake. Pour the batter into your mug and microwave for 1 to 1 ½ minutes, or until the cake is cooked through. See notes below. Remove it from the microwave and let it sit for a few minutes, as the cake will be very hot.
- Serve. Enjoy plain or top with a dollop of whipped cream.
Notes
- Microwave cooking times vary; adjust to preference—shorter cooking yields more moist, brownie-like texture while longer cooking results in a firmer cake.
